Triathlon by the Sea - TriathlonSprint

AWESOME swim! Ranked 8th overall! Which is ridiculous, consider I started swimming 6 months ago. I did exactly what I wanted. Didn't pass anyone, since there was 30 seconds between myself and the person in front of me. But I was right on their heels by the time we exited the pool. I started to feel a bit nauseous halfway through, but pushed on and got over it.

Time includes run out of the building and over the timing mat.

Nothing.

I'm not sure on my T1 time, but it was just as fast as the much more experienced triathletes on either side of me. T1 felt really good.

Wow! 11th overall on the bike! I was really flying. Nobody passed me here. In fact, at T2 the guy next to me said, "Nobody ever passes me on the bike... except you, today." That was pretty cool. I wanted 20mph and I held almost 21.5.

I felt like there were a couple hills I could have done slightly better on, but I am extremely happy with my performance.

Quick transition. Almost took off with my helmet on. lol. I rode without socks, so I had to put them on here. No problems. Unfortunately, I snapped a piece off my cleat while running!

Not break a cleat while running the bike in!

The run is my weakness. 8th overall on the swim, 11th on the bike, and 93rd on the run. I held about an 8:00 pace for the first 2.5 miles... exactly what I wanted. Then I got the worst cramp in my side that I've ever had. I slowed way down and it took everything I had just to keep moving.

I can't complain about my run time. I'll work on improving it in the future.

Improve my speed and figure out what to do different so I don't cramp up.

My running.


Awesome race for my first triathlon! I'll definitely be back.
