Hawk Island Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Overall a poor swim. I did finish but I was forced to pick my head up out of the water more than I would of liked. I was also kicked and flailed into a few times. I got a few pounds of weeds in my legs and arms too. Overall a poor swim.

I need to do more endurance training in the pool. I'm not doing large enough sets. I've been doing alot of 50's and a few 100's. I now know that I need to work my way up to 2 x 400 sets for a workout and then eventually to 2 x 800 sets.

You had to run your bike out of the transition and it was a long run out of the transition area -- or so it seemed.

I would bring a milk crate to sit down on to put on my socks for the bike/run. I was pretty tired and I was swaying back and forth, I need a place to sit.

None.

I would pedal even harder and shift up 2-3 gears going down some of the hills. I could've picked up more speed in some spots.

Very fast transition. No gear changes required.

I would've ran a little harder next to my bike.

I should've pushed a little harder on the run -- especially during the last mile. During the last mile my legs began to loosen up a bit more.

A short 2 minute jog.


Slow T1. I didn't train hard enough for the run and I didn't train right for the swim. I can definitely do better.



A Great first race. I had alot of fun and I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
