Mini Mighty Man Triathlon - TriathlonMini Sprint

We seeded ourselves according to times that they had set up. I tried to stay in the middle. I would rather pass people than get passed. Since this was my first tri I did not want to go out to hard. I passed a few people in the water. Almost had a collision with someone who was swimming up the lane as everyone else was going in the opposite direction. I exited the pool in good shape.

Train in a bigger pool.

Since this was my first transition, I feel that things went smoothly. I don't use clip on pedals so I just had to get my socks and sneakers on. I laid everything out that I needed.

Nothing

This was the first time that I have taken my bike on the road. Only trainer rides up until this point. It felt like the wind was in my face the whole ride. I got passed by quite a few people. I knew that the bike would be a problem.

Get out and ride more on the road.

I just had to dismount and get to the rack. I took a sip of gatorade and headed out for the run.

Nothing

Coming off the bike my legs felt good. I had done a few bricks in my training but ridng a spin bike and going to the treadmill is definitely different. Poured some water over my head on the second loop.

Push the run a little harder.

Had some water and fruit. Took a couple of pictures with my kids.


Lack of swimming in a larger pool and needing more time on the road with my bike.


This was a great event for my first Tri experience. I got to meet 1st Timer(Tim) and Cobanerro(Ed). I think they have talked me into doing a tri in Staten Island. This was a good way to start my tri career. The first thing my wife said after I finished was "i want to do this next year", she is a runner. I am happy with my finish, I had a goal to finish under 45 minutes but I was in the top third overall.
