Chelanman Try a Tri - TriathlonMini Sprint

Pretty much a cluster out to the first bouy and everyone was losing their mind trying to get around it. I was getting a little frustrated with the madness so I went to the deeper water and tried to get away from the crowd.

Start more toward the front of the mass to avoid the pile-up.

Had a little trouble with my helmet because the straps were a little twisted. Put my shoes on in transition because the grass was sloppy.

I think that more practice with this transition will make it better. :-)

Awsome bike. I was passing people all over the place. Right after the turn-around I was taking a drink from my bottle and dropped it when trying to put it back. It rolled under my bike and I'm lucky I didn't wreck. Oh well, could have been worse!

Steep downhill to run bike into transition and it was a little sloppy too. Had to concentrate on keeping my footing.

This transition went awsome. I was really happy with it.

Great run. I didn't feel like I was going as fast as I was but I felt suprisingly good starting the run after the bike. There was a huge hill to get out of the park and onto the road that slowed me down at the start but I got back to pace quickly.

Stretching


Maybe I was a little unsure because it was my first one. Now that I know what to expect I think that I could go harder and put more into it.


Great race! I was surprised at how organized and on-time things were, especially because they were putting on 8 or so races. Some single races don't have their stuff together this well. I would definitely do this one again.
