Skinnyman Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

The water was COLD. Other than that, I was very happy with he swim. Not a spectacular time, but pretty good for me. First race with a wetsuit as well. Swimming in the wetsuit was a possible concern for me but it actually felt pretty natural and non-restrictive. Went a little hard out of the gate, but half way through began to pace myself better. Stuck close to the buoys as much as i could and just swam.

Train more for the swim. If i had the same dedication towards this part of the race as the next two, i would've been much better off.

Dizzy out of the water, not the first time to happen. Sat down to take wetsuit off then went.

Have to get this down to a science. Be more automated, less methodical.

Fun bike course, I think. Didnt have a hammergel to slam as i took off but the gatorade made up for it. Just tried to keep a hard, but not unreasonable pace. Ended up racing hard with several other guys as we moved up hrough the pack. All in all, good ride.

Nothing.

Really no excuse for this slow time. Just have to learn hoe to do a flying dismount and just move faster in transition.

Flying dismount

Pretty good run. Took it easy for the first half km or so then ramped up the effort. Really pushed after the hill.

Nothing.

Walked around and strectched a little bit. Talked with family and girlfriend and grabbed as much red bull as i could. Found out I made the podium for my age group and was pretty pumped.


The biggest limiter by far was my swim performance. A better swim would definitely produced at least another spot in my age group. Also, transitions need to be faster.


Good race in a nice town. Definitely one of my favorites. I would highly recommend this for a first timer, as it was my first race last year. Made the podium, woot!
