Foothills Charity Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

mass start, very congested. Swam over a lot of people, should actually have started closer to the front as I was one of the faster swimmers (top 1/3 anyway) and I started toward the back. Very tight course. I was swimming slightly to the right all the time, even when I was drafting... need to work on the straight line swim.

My time was slower than in the pool, but I thought the swim was okay... I had a good time overall.

I did struggling getting my wetsuit off my legs, even with using body glide. I dropped my helmet, sunglasses and number on the ground. But I think my time was not too bad.

Still need to get out of wetsuit quicker.

I passed a lot of people on the bike, and was only passed by a couple. I slowed a little on the hills, but definitely make up for it on the flats. Aero position worked well.

I still need more hill work so I don't slow down quite so much.

I thought this went fine, helmet off, cycling shoes off, running shoes on and out of T2 - I'm not trying to set any speed records :)

nothing really

I was passed within meters of the finish by 2 women. I picked up the pace and out sprinted one at the line. However the overall time has us tied, with her before me... I think based on alphabetic order. I know I crossed before her and she did too, she though she could hold me off... so oficially my place was 21... but I know I was 20. I ran hard, kept my breathing under control. I felt sick after I sprinted across the line - I gave it my all at the end.

This was a good run. I always try to get my 5k under 30min and I did... now I need to get under 25min!!! New goal :)

walked around a little, drank water and stretched a bit


swimming - the congestion and a little navigation, cycling - the hills, running - just need mroe speed work. but overall I am happy.


Weather was great. Needs more water stations.
