Middle Tyger YMCA Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

50m pool. Staggered start. I put 10minutes on registration which put me at the back. Passed one person who kept cutting me off when I would try to pass her. Bi-lateral breathing has improved but needs to be better. Strong armed the last 50m.

Better breathing. Training in 25m pool doesn't help pacing either.

Didn't get true transition times. Most likely it is part of the bike time? or not at all.

It was actually pretty good. Didn't have to fool with wet suit.

I didn't drink enough. Took one hammer gel. gotta get my cadence sensor straight on the bike. Side Note: I don't mind the tri-bikes passing me as much as the mountain bikes :).

Drink more. Make sure that my cadence sensor is working. I meant to do that before the race day but time did not permit.

T2 was better. Feet were numb.Gotta do something about that.

clipless pedals. More biking... better use of gearing.

Gosh this continues to be my problem. I faded miserably.Took about 8/10 of a mile to find my legs. Went solid for about 2 miles before started having issues. Feet were numb to begin with from bike. So clearly shoes/pedals aren't right.

Stalked one guy for about a mile before I finally passed him. He never caught me ... thank goodness.

Gave up way too many positions to people that I was way ahead of on bike. I could have finished easily in top 100.

Finished with a kick.

Get more road work. more road work and then do some more road work. I actually performed BETTER though than on the Clemson Tri run.

Drank gatorade. My quads were cramping...first time I have had this problem.
The finishing kick really put them into spasms. Not enough fluids? during race?


Running. I faded really bad.


Fun day. Recovery was quicker than expected. I found myself looking for another tri as soon as I can find one that is nearby. Otherwise, begin extended training time.
