Ironclad Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

OWS is a completely different world. Wasn't bothered by not being able to see, but my sighting was awful. Swam off course a few times which most likely cost me the age group win.

RELAX! Better sighting, more OWS practice

A little trouble grabbing the tail for my zipper, but got the suit half off before I hit the transition area. Strapped on the cycling shoes in T1 and ran in them up the hill. Bike mount was good, clipped in and was off.

Nothing, just work on being smoother and quicker.

Rode well, pushed some bigger gears than usual which felt nice. Got some wrong directions at the turn around which cost me about a minute. Caught the guys I was with, passed them and got going.

Nothing, happy with ride. More time in the saddle is needed, the cycling time has got to drop.

Smooth transition, got off the bike ran it in and racked it pretty quickly. Runners went on smooth, grabbed a quick drink and took off.

Skip trying to put a gel in my jersey pocket, it wasnt needed and added precious seconds to my time.

Smoked the run course. Not my fastest 5k, but I turned in the fastest run time of the day.

Nothing, pushed as hard as I could, made up time and passed a good number of racers.

Short run, and walked the course backwards for a bit. Stretching while talking to other athlets and proud parents of other racers.


Time in the saddle and OWS practice. A basic lack of swimming for the past week or so really hurt my race performance.


Overall a great day, race was organized and well managed. Finisher medals to every participant. Great breakfast buffet for all the athletes. I will definitely race it again next year.
