Reston Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Dont know if I like this format all that much my time tells me I put in nearly the exact time I needed to but I felt like I was going slower waiting for people and then spent a lot of energy passing people, passed at least 4 or 5 people. Overall pretty happy but never really got in a rhythm. Improved a minute over last year.

Need to learn how to swim faster

A lot better than last year, went sockless and made effort to move fast. Long run to bike start which added to time a little. Pretty happy with this

Well when I decided to do this race in the middle of my HIM training figured I would go all out and see what happened. Avg HR was 177 and I think it peaked around 186, I went about as hard as I could except for the last .25 where I just tried to spin out my legs because they were burning. I tried to get my HR down on the downhills but did not decrease all that much. Passed a lot of people.

Not much, very happy with the bike. In retrospect probably just should have gone as hard as I could on downhills as well.

Overall pretty happy with this, coudlhave been a little faster, ripped race number while trying to put on race belt so that took a few seconds to fix. Went with no socks to make a little faster.

Learn how to run faster in bike shoes or learn how to get feet out before dismount

When I got off the bike my legs were burning so I figured try to get HR down a little so I did not blow up on run. Got to first mile marker and looked at watch and said 8:58, definitely slower than i wanted to go as I was going to push this race. So felt pretty good and went pretty much all out rest of race. Probalby could have gone a little harder. Passed a lot of people. Was spent when i finished.

Walked around found wife and son. Had some water and a bagel.


Nothing


Good race, fun
