Lake Chaparral Triathlon - Sprint - TriathlonSprint

Testing stroke changes, also doing some bilateral breathing. Still kept getting off course.

Give up and sight more often, don't follow others. A little less effort, relax more.

T1 was faster than usual, but screwed it up when I crashed while jumping on the bike, it was way wetter/slipperier than it was earlier when I was observing the mount area. Lost all my water, tore the elbow but it only cost me about 30 seconds.

Slow down A BIT for the jump on bike, in case of slips.

Pretty good, might have to try it again without the borrowed Cev Dual.


Don't crash and lose all the water. And go faster.

Still jumped off moving bike, worked fine. Rack went well, socks etc fine. Took a second to drink water, glad I had a spare bottle.


Forget the fuel belt and just run with 1 small container of water.

Go harder. I felt sick around 2km so kept the pace at 5:30. Felt better near the end so full sprinted. Felt fine after it was over, too much gas left in the tank at the end.

Walk around, minor stretching


Mucking around with some gatorade, ate a snack bar 30 mins before race thinking it would be good energy. Not next time.



It's a long day - be there around 7, and draws aren't over until 2pm. Didn't start the sprint until 10. Nice lake, community is not as hilly as Arbour Lake. Liked the hill on the bike though. Should start the mens oly sooner, instead of 1:30 after the women. Definately might consider this race next year for my first Olympic.
