5430 Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I was in Wave 5. Talked to a couple of ladies in from on me who were also doing their first tri. We all agreed that we wouldn't swim on top of each other. My goggles fogged up at the half way point. I really couldn't see much so I just kept swimming followed the crowd of swimmers ahead of me.

Put de-fogger on my goggles.

Wow, I blew this transition. I don't know what I was thinking but I was taking my own sweet time!!

Kick it in gear! Also, i won't wear gloves on the bike or socks. Also, I had to put my shirt on over my sports bra because I didn't have a belt for my number. I will bye a belt.

Loved the bike ride. I actually did pretty good out of the gate and kicked it in at about the 8 mile marker. I slowed just slightly heading back to the reservoir but overall i was really happy with my ride.

I wouldn't wear gloves, no need for them and they take to long to put on in T1.

A girl I knew was in the transition area and she felt like she need to "chat". Funny thing about it, she wasn't even in the race. I have no idea how she got in the transition area but I told her, "sorry, got to run".

Quicker on getting out of my bike shoes and into my running shoes.

Holy Cow! My legs felt like lead! My calves were a little tight this morning during stretching. When I started to run I could really feel them burn. I really felt like I was going super slow. I was actually really happy when i saw my posted run time and that i ran a little under a 10 minute mile.

I would try to kick it in a little earlier rather then wait until half way back to the finish! I diffently need to do more Brix training.

Walked around and stretched. My wonderful husband was cheering me on the entire morning and we just walked and talked about my race. He was so proud of me.


Transition and running. Need to train harder.


They could have used more water stations on the run.
