Rotary Pineapple Man Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Confusion on the start sucked, got kicked a few times, felt like chip waws coming off.

Safety Pin my chip on for piece of mind.

Had two issues during T1: 1) Velco tensioner on the back of the helmet got ripped out, so I had to replace. 2) Had to rewrap my time chip. If I did not have to do those things, it would have been an Average time. I did not care either way.

Not put on socks, and get better abs/stomach so I do not have to wear a cycling jersey. And dry off faster.

Think I did well the entire way on the bike, felt great!

Of course go faster.

I had a great T2 time. I could have shaved off 10 seconds by hydrating while at the end of the bike, and not standing in T2 (drank a good bit). So I was pleased.

Hydrate on bike and not in T2.

I need to work on doing more bricks, so I can start my run faster, as I tend to get into a pace and stick with it (being comfortable). Also I am thinking about having my wife get me a Garmin for Christmas to help push me.

No sock (try it), more brick work, Garmin for pacing.

Rehydrate- as it was very hot and lost a few pounds through my pores.


Lack of hard training and the heat (esp. on the run).


I had a great time and pushed myself a bit, so I am very happy. Wanted to beat 1:40 and I did. Had a good time, just need to work out and train more (like everyone else is saying). I am also happy that I was not competitive during the entire race, as this keeps me in a great mindset. I did it - and proud of how I did, even if I am average - I am ok with that (just as long as I push myself and do better than the last time).

Congrats to all the other PineappleMan racers!
