Xterra Wetsuits Spring Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I'm still learning how to swim really but I was very happy because I freestyled the whole distance. I stayed with some of the other swimmers in my wave which surprised me and had me smiling coming out of the water.

Practice bi-lateral breathing more. I was definately pulling to the right (the side I was breathing on) and had to correct my course about every 4th stroke.

Seemed slow, I just focused on not forgetting anything. My splits were kinda messed up, think I hit the button while fighting the wetsuit but I think this time is pretty close.

Practice transitions more.

Fun ride, tried to keep the feet spinning and the speed up.

Push harder maybe? I was pooped at the end so maybe not. ;)

Same as T1, seemed to stare at my stuff more than grab and go.

Practice, practice, practice.

Started off fast but slowed myself down so that I didn't run out of juice. Paced off of a couple of runners through the run which seemed to work pretty well. I had a really fun sprint at the end with another guy in my age group that just flew past me. I tried really hard to catch him but couldn't do it.

Learn how to pace myself in a race better. I think I could have kept a faster pace.

Grabbed some water and walked around a bit looking for the others.


Consistancy in training. Some nasty bugs floating around a few weeks back.


Awesome race. This was my second tri and the difference in my comfort level compared to my first race last year was huge. I was having fun the entire time even though I was working hard.

Lot's of friendly people at the race which helps tons. The racks were tight but everyone near me was polite and encouraging.

I would definately recommend this race to others.
