Surf & Turf Super-Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonMini Sprint

Welcome to OWS....I need a lot of practice in the ocean. I went into this one blind having not done an OWS in saltware and for a moment or two had seriouse thoughts of giving up in the 1s5 150....after that the tention released a little and I pressed on...but this one was a real eye opener about the amount of swim training I lack. For me this wasnt a distance problem but a salt in the mouth and nose problem. ...much work to do.

perhaps an open water swim or two before the event :) not much other than force myself to swim head down and just deal with it.

this race was split into two 4 mile bikes and one 2 mile run as well as a 1 mile run....swim, bike, run, bike, run finshe

I was happy overall with all of the transitions

Seem to be fater on the 2nd bike stage...over all slow, slow, slow.

supprised about the sand..I think that was a last minute course change...going over the beach access and down the stairs was hard on the legs after swimming and biking. Overall I felt good about the run...
I am marking "below average" becase this isn't average time for me.

in general I want to add more beach running into my training...I enjoyed the course layout.

a little walking and a sandwich to "try" to get the taste of salt water out of my mouth.


lack of training..


I loved the race and would do it again in a heat beat.
This was a very fun event, I plan to be more competitive next year.
