Brewhouse Triathlon - Short Course - TriathlonSprint

For the first time, I felt like I had a good swim. I sighted well, breathed well and drafted when I could. No panicing to start out. I really like the start in the water. Wish more races had this.

Go faster! :-)

Solid transition. I wish I didn't have to run so far in my bike shoes to get to the mount area, but I have zero confidence in putting my feet with the shoes already clipped in. I did put my sunglasses on only to have them fog up...that doesn't happen in Colorado. I ended up not wearing them.

nothing

Awful road conditions. Not that this is the fault of the race, but it was so bad that people were riding near the centerline to avoid the road conditions, which made it even more difficult to pass. Alot of people I passed were not on the right and I had to make one pass on the right because the person was on the center line. I had a rental bike and it performed flawlessly, so I was really happy with that!

go a little harder...

I got stuck behind a couple of people going into transition that I would have liked to pass, but not a big deal

the run was okay, but not my best. heavy legs took their toll at the beginning along with the long gentle climb to the turn around point. I couldn't find someone to latch onto for a good pace, but I was more interested in keeping my lead over my brother and sister so I was conservative as well.

The water stop ran out of water on my return...and that sucked, but wasn't necessary for me to post a good time.

Go out a little harder and push more on the return. The last couple of tris/running races have been 4+ miles and I didn't do a good job of pushing since it was only 2.5 miles.

finished, hung out to see my brother come in 4 minutes after me and my sister 2 minutes later...


less than stellar run


I think the swim course is long and the roads for the bike are in awful condition!
