Park Center Health and Fitness Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Actually a little less time in the water, probably about 4:50, including slowing down a little on the last 25 yds to draft on someone and recover a bit before the run to the bike. Easier than trying to go around that late in a short swim. A little disappointing from a time standpoint.

Nothing.

Don't jump on my bike. Not now, not ever. I leave that to the fast people. Transition time included a short run from the pool.

At some point maybe I'll learn how to get into my shoes on the bike, but I'm decently fast as it is. 13/341 in transition not bad.

Bike was fun, very flat, fast, most corners had space for wide, fast turns, loved the three person cheering section on the back half of the course.

Two laps through neighborhood streets.

Nothing.

Missed my stuff. Put on my number belt backwards and had to fix it. Forgot my water bottle and had to retrieve it. Still, should not have been that slow. No socks, just a hat, shoes, belt, and bottle...

What did I read somewhere- "slow is smooth and smooth is fast"... Too jumpy, too many mistakes. Probably only lost 5-10 seconds on each, but it adds up...

Good run for a change. Felt fast, maybe could have pushed a little harder in the middle of the run.

Push a little harder in the middle of the run and see what happens.

Wandered around.


T2 lost me b/w 30-45 sec


Good little race. Nice people putting it on and for a small local race very professionally run. That said, the super short (300 yd) indoor 25 yd lane 12 lap pool swim made me feel claustrophobic and having to wait about an hour and a half to get my bike out of transition was frustrating. It would also be nice if they had 5 yr increments for their age group awards.
