KMC Sage City Sprint - Triathlon

Time included short run out to transition (timing mat moved from last year). Actual swim time was 4:25.

Swim was spot on. Perfect effort; not too hard, not too easy.

Little trouble getting wet feet into shoes, but not much. Almost a minute faster than last year.

Make sure I have the crank set in the right position for mounting. Had to make a quick adjustment on the run to the mount line, although it didn't seem to cost me any time.

Maybe went just a tad too hard; was pretty tight at the start of the run. Maybe need to drop the seat height a bit to keep from engaging the calves so much. Water bottle straw was too short. Still, 5 minutes faster than last year!, and improved my bike split rank from 45 to 15.

Gabbed the water bottle on the dismount instead of the stem, almost dropped the bike. 27 seconds faster than last year.

Run out with water bottle instead of taking a drink standing still.

8 seconds slower than last year, despite slightly more favorable conditions. Over-biked a little.

More run training.

Walked it off.


Nice small town event with a wonderful bike route, well organized, good turn out. Pool swim instead of an open water venue is the only reason this event gets a 4 instead of a 5.
