Fall Frenzy Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Pool swim. First half of swim I was faster than group. Felt good, tri suit somewhat constrictive on breathing.

Wait til later group to see if I could get less people in lane. I was catching people in front but there was no where to go.

Pretty decent transition.

Move faster

Clearly obvious I needed to either rent or buy a road bike. The problem I had was that my bike is an older mountain bike. Going down hills, I maxed out the gears, meaning I could not get any power. The wheels were traveling faster than the gears would allow for. Going up hills, I would likewise turn the bike to the highest gear, which was to hard sitting down, but not enough tension to stand up.

I might have pushed myself a bit harder, as I felt pretty good getting off the bike. My concern was that I wouldn't have anything for the run. It goes without saying that I will never ride a tri again with that mountain bike.

I did not have to take bike shoes off and change into running shoes, as I used my running shoes for the bike. Pretty easy transition. No problems racking bike. I had a gel shot and some water.

Move faster!

Way too slow. Very disapointed in my run time. I felt fine running, sort of tired from the overall event. Didn't seem like I could have pushed myself to go faster for the run.

Train harder on the run. I knew the run was going to be the toughest part. I will do more speed work the next time. Push myself harder. Try and find someone to pace off of.

Light stretch, drink water, eat chipolte


Using a mountain bike, and a terrible run.


I would have liked to see mile markers on the bike and run. Especially the run. They had one lady telling the runners 450 meters to go, but that was it.
