Miami University Student Foundation Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I believe that the overall swim performance was just OK. The pool got pretty congested in my 3rd length which made me a bit nervous. Need to work on better breath control.

Did 100m of breast in the middle of the swim, and I really didn't need to. I believe that if I could have relaxed a bit more I could have finished with all free. Will work on breath control

BAD transition here today. Announced before the race that IPODS were illegal, and I had mine wired into my helmet. I took it apart during transition. I also took WAY too much time drying off feet and putting shoes, gloves and helmet on.

No IPOD in helmet...I will attach shoes to bike

Pretty good ride given the situation we had to deal with (weather) and the fact that there were a LOT of inexperienced cyclists in front of me to contend with due to the Serpentine Swim

Not too much other than transition. I am SO HAPPY that I rode the course first.

Not a bad transition, but I should have had my feet out of the shoes when I rounded the last corner. I will need to work on this. Didn't use socks for either the cycling or the run and I believe this saved time.

Getting feet out of shoes before entering transition.

Legs felt VERY heavy at the beginning...I didn't transition as well as I would have liked. Started feeling better in the second mile.

Practice more bike to run transitions AT RACE PACE

Walked around and stretched.


Weather, crowd and inadequate brick practices


This was a well-run race. It was the largest they've had BY FAR in the 3 years since inception, and given a growth of over 200 entrants from the previous year, I thought they did a nice job. With a Serpentine swim, however, the end of the race was really dragging out, and I left without my results because they wouldn't post until everyone was done.
