Subaru Emerald Pointe Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I had a pretty good swim- no wetsuit to help me- passed a lot of people. I still can get much faster, so I am very optimistic

nothing

toughest t1 ever. After the swim we had to run uphill a couple hundred yards to transition area. I was a little creaky with the cold air and fumbled around a bit

I struggled getting the shoes on. I was a little cold. I will eventually get some tri shoes. the longest part was getting to the transition. In my defense everyone had 3-5 minute T1 times

I was passing people early- then started getting passed toward the end but still had a good average. The course was a little longer than 13 miles so the avg speed was off- my computer had me at 19.3. I was suprised to place so high in this part of the race.

I need to find more time to cycle. Also i really am starting to want a better bike- i think it could shave some good time

I forgot to put the yanks on my new shoes so i had to tie them!- otherwise it went smooth

put the yanks on my shoes

i thought i was slow but i actually did my best ever official 5k- running and biking aside- so i really cant complain

just keep training- it seems to be working

hugged my wife and 2 yr old son. walked around then ate some pizza and drank some water. Should have stretched.


shin splints and also I feel that i slacked on the training the last couple weeks with heavy work demands so i was carrying 3-4 pounds extra and could feel it.


Very impressed that this this is a first time event. It was well organized and i have no complaints. post race food was great- sorry i could niot stick around for results/awards
