Smithfield Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I started slow and used the early part of my swim as a warm up; I picked up the pace after about 75m but never really gto up to speed; the pool was a bit crowded; I wanted an easy swim but I took it a bit too easy

have a better way to warm up while waiting for the pool start, get into my groove a bit faster

it was cold outside after leaving the nice warm pool room; I was a bit slow getting my socks on and getting my jacket on; then I had a long way to go with my bike out of the transition area

not much; I needed some extra layers for biking wet with temps in the 40's

it took me 3 to 4 miles to get going; again I think related to my lack of warm up; my legs were cold and not wram after the swim; once I got in a groove I was passing a ton of people, I wish the bike course had been longer; I could have done more damage

not much excpet get more warmed up for the entire event

I was a little slow here, my hands were really cold and my dexterity was not great; I tossed my bike jacket and ran in only my trisuit and gloves/visor

move quicker

I really wanted to try and finish strong; I'm not known for my 5K speed so I just did what I could, I was a little cold with my bare arms but I warmed up and kept going, got passed by a few people but not as many as usual

do more speed training; work on my run pace

hung out and watched some friends finish, as soon as I stopped racing I had to bundle up, it was jus barely 50 outside and very windy


not much speed training, I've been doing lots of long stuff for my IM race


this is a good early season race; weahter is always a crapshoot this time of year; I'm happy with my performance; I have some things to work on before my HIM next month
