Lake Lenape Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Not a good swim, but not bad for 1st race and 1st OWS. I was slightly concerned early on but was able to muscle through it and finish but had to do a good amount of breast stroke.

Practice OWS and just keep training to work on endurance and breathing.

Not bad T1. Tried to put socks on and was unsuccessfull so went sockless and felt fine. As a result, I did not wear shirt either. I found out how difficult it was too put clothes on while wet.

Don't need socks or shirt for sprints and hustle it up a bit.

Felt good during and after the ride and rode pretty well after a difficult swim.

Took a minute or two to catch my breath after the swim and may have been able to push a little harder. Would like to avg. over 21 mph by the end of my first season.

Big problem in T2 was finding my rack spot. We were assigned spots based on race # and they had them labeled on the opposite side you came in on from the bike. It felt like forever before I found my space and then the rack collapsed when I tried to rack my bike. To cap it off I had to take one of my shoes off and put it back on because it had a rock in it.

Know where my rack spot is and a little better luck.

First mile was a little tough but overall it was an ok run. Would have liked to have been at 23:30.

Need to continue brick training as well as speed work.

Saw wife and 2 kids at the finish line which was nice and waited for 3 friends of mine to come in as well. All 4 of us had a great day as this was our first Tri and we did it together. Walked around and talked for a while with friends and family. Had a pretzel and some water and then took a final dip in the Lake to cool off before heading home.


Nothing. Need to keep training hard and the times will continue to get better as I become more fit and experienced.


I am a TRIATHLETE!!! Very happy with results of my first race and am looking forward to the remaining races of my first season. Up next - Brigantine Island Tri on 8/4.
