Warsaw Optimist Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Lots of weeds. Got caught up in lots of traffic at the turn around. Was a bit fatigued in the middle, but started and ended well. Handled bodies and blows better than ever.

Draft better. Sight even better.

Found my bike and rack tipped over. Was not happy about it. That fact and removing my wetsuit took a little extra time. I also had a little trouble with my helmet straps.

Not much. This aero helmet is just a little tricky to get on right.

2:30 better than last year on same course! Not having a wreck helped, as did race wheels. But still my average speed was up there. I was pretty cautious in the tight turns.

Nada.

This was a pretty good transition. Transition area very long this year.

I may have taken my feet out of my shoes and then put both legs on the same side of the bike a little too soon.

Felt tough. Was pretty humid. Finished well.

I would have liked for this to be a bit faster, but I haven't been doing any short speed training. Coach says that run speed is the first thing to go when training long like for ironman.

Ran 3 miles after talking and eating and putting everything away.


Swim speed, run speed


Great race. I like the new course. Great mental effort today. Wasn't too scared of the swim compared to prior races. Bike greatly improved. Run not improved, but hasn't fallen off as much as I feared. I can improve more on the swim. If I were training more specifically for this distance, I could ride and run faster too. 29/338 males.
