Worldgate Sport & Health Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

This was my fist tri and have only seen pool swims where you have your own lane. It seemed very congested the entire time. I had to stop at least 4 times in my lane because I caught someone. It seemed many people were not very honest in their swim times which made the whole pool very congested.

Hard to tell, since I had to stop so much. Felt really good out there when I was swimming seemed like I only took 2 breaths each 25.

A bit cold coming out of the building, jogged into T1. Debated with the socks beforehand. Ended up putting them on. Didn't have my Tri singlet yet so just put on a jersey, didn't have any problems with the socks or jersey. I think I beat quite a few out of T1 that were in my swim grouping.

Would save a bit more time if I had a tri singlet, picking up one this week. Maybe try riding without socks more.

I passed quite a few people, good ego boost to be #122 in the swim and pass some 40's and 50's out there. Was funny when I got dusted by a guy on a hybrid. I was moving along pretty well and he passed and I never saw him again. This was what I though would be my strength and I did pretty well overall I think.

It did start raining pretty good by about the 5th mile and kept raining the rest of the race, my hands were numb when I got off the bike but I felt pretty good otherwise.

I think I was a bit overconfident on my bike conditioning. Need to just get out there and ride with a higher pace.

Lol, not sure if I was allowed to jog out so I ended up walking.

Moved pretty quickly, took off bike shoes, slipped on running shoes and threw on a hat

Lol 17th in T2 time...

Figure out if you are allowed to jog out of T2.

Run was very short my legs didn't even seem to warm up until I was ready to cross the finish line. I did walk for a few seconds up one hill but felt my legs un-numbing and didnt' want that.

Was able to almost sprint across the finish line.

Learn what my pace is and don't save so much up for the end.

Walked around with family for a bit then had to ride the bike about 2 miles back to Worldgate.


Not sure I could have done much better, swim was a hassle and wasn't quite as fast on the bike as I would have liked but still pretty good for my first one I think.


Other than the snake swim everything went pretty smoothly. plenty of police and volunteers out there to help.
