Iriquois Point Island Club Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Ok, so I found out at last minute that the direction had changed from last year to clockwise, that would have sucked going wrong way! This was the first time I dedided to get in the crowd and mix it up. Got in a nice little group and did some jostling. Felt really good, sighting was really good and the feet I was on seemed to be staying on course, so all was good. Never looked at my watch once during the swim-which was a new one for me. last 150 started kicking some more to get legs ready for bike. A fun swim!

Nothing other than becoming a better swimmer.

Practised for a while yesterday while my girls were riding there bikes at the local college parking lot. Really helped a lot and actually got the running/jump start down. Shoes went on a little slow, because I had a lot of sand on them, nothing to major though. Some improvement still can be made.

Get feet a little cleaner.

Got onto the bike and starting hammering. Felt pretty good. Right into head wind so wasn't too worried about speed. Just focused on cadence and HR. Felt pretty good through out, could have gone a little harder, not much. Should have pushed harder last few miles into wind.

Push harder into wind esp. on finishing miles.

Another good trans.

Jump off bike.

Started running and knew I just didn't have it today. Felt like I was low on energy and just couldn't get motivated to run harder. I tried picking up the pace some, and was faster second half, but no real surges and finished ok.

More training and need to eat more closer to race time.

30 min easy jog.


Need more training, just first race of season. Need to nail pre-race nutrition.


This was my second year doing this race. Last year it was raining for a good portion of the event. This year it was very nice except a little windy. Good organization and the overall vibe was really good. I would definately recommend it to anyone.
