Lake Murray Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Felt a little panicy at first. I think it was because of the excitment and that my breathing was shallow which didn't jive well with my stroke and the fact that my wetsuit felt tight around the neck. After the first leg I got into a better stride.

Calm down

Good transition thanks to Tommy for showing me the breakaway zipper which allowed me to get halfway out of the suit before I entered the T area. I was a little dizzy putting on my shoes.

Practice this more so I can get faster at it.

I wish I had a lighter bike. The only ones that passed me where high-end $4000 rides. It felt good though to cruise past a couple of those on my low-end Trek Equinox 7.

I felt like my gearing could have been a little better. I enjoyed the ride and push pretty hard.

One of my rack neighbors had layed their wetsuit across the rack where my bike needed to go so I had to slide it down. My left shoe didn't go on easily so that took some extra time.

Nada

Ran pretty hard, my breathing was labored a little, but I felt like I was doing negative splits and I had enough in the tank for an all-out sprint at the end. The leg held up well and I reached my goal of a sub 7 min mile pace.

Not run with a tri top; it felt hot; I would have rather been running without a shirt on.

Hold my kids and drink some water


Losing my composure a little on the first leg of the swim and a slightly heavy bike.


Great race, can't wait till next year. Maybe I'll get on the podium.
