BMW Greenwich Cup Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

My best swim this season. I still have issues with sighting and I tend to swim to my right because I got off course twice. If I swam straighter, I think my time would have been even lower. Sleevless wetsuit made a big difference in my swim over my full sleeve suit. A number of people have said the course was set long. Hard to tell. If that was the case, then my swim time was my best thusfar this season.

Work on sighting. Improve endurance and speed, however, overall no complaints with this swim.

Good first transition. Got my wetsuit half off and cap off half way up the beach. Moved pretty quickly and got my socks, shoes and helmet on. Rinsed my mouth out and grab a gel to start off on the bike with.

Improve my speed.

Good bike. I handled the hills pretty well though I continue to want to work on my speed while climbing.

Drink a little less.

Very good second transition. Could have been a touch faster but when I racked my bike the bike on the otherside of the rack fell off and I stopped to pick it up. Also took a long swig from the bottle of HEED left in my bike.

Not much. Avoid knocking some one elses bike!

Good run though I need a 30 second nature break in the first couple of hundred yards. Drank a bit too much on the bike (probably some sea water too!). Otherwise, the run felt good. The last mile and half I felt like I was in a good zone and moving well. Not wild about the finish on the beach in this race.

Avoid having to take a nature break.

Walk around. Banana. Bagel. Water.


Nothing other than the need to train more. I had no major issues in this race.


This is a fun, low key, low tech race that is very well run. I enjoy this course. Bike is a bit long for a Sprint with some nice hills. Run is a flat trail run that runs fast.
