New York Tri/Bi-athlon Series - Race #1 Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

had a moment where I was crusin but it was intruuped by me running into the guy in front of me. There were a couple of times where I held up to see what was infront of me instead of sighting. Need to work on seeing the bouy. Also, for some reason I tend to drift to the outside of the pack. This is in part fear of not wanting to run into anyone else, but I end up with no one to draft and having to swim farther to the bouy. Next time I am going to take the inside path when passing someone, I noticed I was passing on the outside instead of the inside. I am worried about people behind me catching me as well. Gotta get over that.

Practice sighting more.

Decent transition.Had to sit down to take off my wet suit. Gotta practice that more.

Nothing.

Love to bike. Beat my time from last year. YEA... Fueled on the bike at the 30min point of the race, I think that that helped me toward the end of the bike. I felt strong on the hills and was flying on the downhills, gotta figure out where to pick up a little more speed. I think the super cool looking Trek with flames on it would help..

I did not have a bento box so I stuck cliff power shots under my seat, one fell out, the other stayed. Get a bento box for the race. I wonder when people fuel, do they suck those things down in one gulp or do they take a little bit at a time>>

I was so close to the transition gate that I just clipped out and jogged it in. Didn't want to take any risks. I didn't take off my helment until I got to the rack, coulda done that one better. I was stiff out the transition, my wife said I gotta stretch more. She's right!!

Pratice dismount and stretch.

Ah, the run is becoming the weaker part of my tri, interesting...gotta work on that one more. I was stiff coming off the bike, took about 1 mile to warm up and get into a pace. I was scared that I wouldn't have enough left at the end, I did, however, finish really strong (just as I did last year)Also stopped to drop off my water bottle with my wife and son, pose for a picture :).

Go out stronger. Not stop to say hi to people. BRICK

Walk around, stretch a little, talk to Peter and Freddie, my wife and son and Kira (Peter's wife)


Swim and Run, need to get more agressive with each of these. Don't know what it is about the bike but I found myself smiling and hammering the last part of the course, did I say that I love to Bike?? Perhaps if I could translate that good feeling to my swimming and running that would help...


Definantly need to get more confident with my swimming and running. My next race I am going to take the inside passing lane. I find myself drifting away from the pack I think this is due to my fear of getting run over and wanting to look for open water, I think I pay for this however, in swimming back to the bouy.. Will see if the inside philosophy works for next race.
