Surf & Turf Super Sprint - TriathlonSprint

Not a bad swim, I had hoped for the water to be a little choppier. The current was not to bad and I may have mis-judged how far to the left of the buoy to start. Lots of bodies at the buoys so it was a little crowded getting around them.

I need a different pair of goggles for the open water swims, I lost some time when I had to stop swimming to spot the buoys.

There are no transition splits in this race, too many transitions I guess. I had a good transition anyway, wetsuit came right off, I used running shoes and cages for the race due to the short bike and number of transitions.

Nothing, I feel like my transitions are getting better.

Not a bad bike, it's so short that I don't think the really good riders can gain much time. The first bike I just went hard, the second bike I was trying to catch another rider in my age group that passed me. First bike was 12:21, second was 11:09


My bike still needs improvement, I should have been able to hold a higher average speed for such a short distance.

I felt like I had a good run, I tried to stay on the hard pack sand as much as possible. The second run was what I was most happy with, there was a guy in my age group that kept looking back to see where I was, and I finally caught and passed him at the end.

Paid more attention to the people around me, the other AG guy knew exactly where I was, it took me till the end of the first run to figure that out.

Walked for a few minutes, thought about sticking my legs in the water but that seemed like too much effort.


Being faster


Found Mary right before the finsh chute, stayed to cheer on some of the other people from our club.
All in all a great weekend, we stayed at a condo for the weekend, what could be better than racing and staying at the beach!
