Dragonfly Triathlon - Triathlon

I thought my swim went well. I did an OWS a couple of days before the race and that really helped me feel relaxed in the water. I felt my sighting and swimming were good. I only stopped a couple of times to get my bearing a little better.

I wouldn't really do much differently. I just need to keep training.

I was a little slow in T1. I took a little time to wipe the sand off my feet. Also, I used a camelback on the bike which I had to put on that took a few seconds. I felt like it all went smoothly even though it was kind of slow.

I could ride with bottles instead of a camelback, swim with a tri top and cut time putting on shirt and squirt feet off with water bottle instead of wiping them off. I could also invest in some tri cycling shoes and keep them attached to the bike, etc.

I really enjoyed the bike course. The hills weren't much fun to climb but weree pretty fun riding down them. Coming off the last hill, I did kind of ride the brakes some because you have to cross this bridge and the pavement was a little rough here. Stayed on the aero bars the whole time except for the hills. Had one bottle of gatoraid, one GU and about 40 oz of water or so. May have had a little too much to drink.

ride more.

still a little slow here. I did wear socks mainly because about half of the run was off road. Smooth but slow.

I had leg cramps most of the time on the run. The course was challenging and fun at the same time. I walked some off and on.

Do some longer bricks. Work up to some longer distances. Add some trail runnning into my training. Get stronger on the bike as well.

Walked around and drank water. Stetch some.


gravity.


My first race this season and I had a blast!
