Imperial Beach Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Was a decent effort here, but I always lose ground running through the water to first transition and then feel winded for a few miles on the bike trying to catch up.

Need to work on bilateral breathing.

I am always slow in transition, seem to take my time getting out of the wetsuit and the shoes on.

Need to speed things up.

Felt good on this leg, was able to get into a groove and push it (maybe a bit too much since I was struggling on the run). My bike leg is improving the most of the 3 events.

Time also includes T1 and T2

Did not drink enough on this leg. I concentrated on getting into a good pace and holding that, did not want to interrupt my pace by reaching out of position to grab a bottle, not the best decision.

Faster here then on T1. I feel a bit disoriented on T1 but much more comfortable here.

Always at the tail end of the age group times on the run. I felt as if my claves were going to pull so I took it easy at first. My pace was decent for me but slow compared to most. It is kind of discouraging to get passed by so many here and finish at the tail end of the times but oh well. I plan to focus on run and bike speed over the offseason.

Push it harder.

Easy walk, drink and eat a bit.


Again, always worried about the run.


I liked the course but not as organized as the other races in this series. Transition was very confusing and not well marked. Doubt I will do this race again, mainly due to the distance.
