Philadelphia Women's Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I liked the in the water start. I felt better than usual starting, but still had some panic and started breastroking in the back and far away from the buoyed line. Collected myself just before halfway and the rest was decent swimming with good enough navigation with the goal of staying away from people.

Not panic?

Obviously not quick, but everything worked out well for me. No nausea.

I chose the furthest place on the rack from the pathway through transition. I suppose I could have moved my bike in a bit, but then again I liked that I had enough space for my stuff and nobody kicked it all over the place.

Glad I got to ride hard. My legs didn't cramp much. Felt fatigue in muscles towards end.

nothing

There isn't much to change short of jumping off bike, but really need different pedals and not on paved dismount area. Stretching on the jog might help for the run, but would waste time. Just keep practicing bricks.

Felt really tight. Had to walk after first mile for about 20 seconds to work out a side stitch. Side contined to bother me throughout run. Last mile felt looser.

I can't tell if I need to drink more or less. Tried drinking more on bike this race. Perhaps bring water, as well as electrolyte drink on bike?

Walk/jog 1/2 mile.


Mental issues with swim. Need to figure out nutrition pre-race and during race.


I had a great time in Philly and the race was a lot of fun. I would recommend this race and would make the trip again.
