Tradewinds Park Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

very happy with this swim, I cut my previous time in half so I can't ask for more. I couldn't see it but my wife said I did a lot of passing and no getting passed.

I did get off course a little and tend to veer left for some reason so I'll have to work on that

no problems here, as planned I didn't have the shoes in the peddals as I stills have much practice to do on that

nothing

again a huge improvement over my previous time by cutting nearly 12 minutes off and increasing my avg spd almost by 6 mph. this is still my weakest event however and I was getting passed by other guys the whole race.

I just need to spend as much time as I can in the saddle to get my avg spd up....though for now I'm pretty happy with 19.2 mph

not much to say, it went fast and easy.

my run time may have suffered from not spending 30 seconds stretching?

could have used a quick stretch before heading out as my hammies were pretty tight. wasn't able to get any water heading out of T2 and did feel a little cramped. speed was good though and only got passed twice. near the finish line another competitor in my age group was right in front of me. I was pacing him to sprint and hopefully pass him at the finish. he realized what I was doing and took off so the sprint started early, right at that moment my shoelace came untied and I wasn't able to make an all out effort so he won the sprint.....it was fun anyway.

the volunteers handing out water weren't the greatest but it's up to me to be sure I'm hydrated enough so I need to work on that. Also I'll be ordering a pair or 2 of Yanks this week. my speed was well above where I train though so no complaints.

walked around and drank lots of water and sports drink.


hydration, shoe laces and not enough training on the bike.


it took an effort to realize that even though I went from 2nd AG to 17th AG that this race was a huge improvement. All my times were respectible and huge improvements which show how much all the training I am doing has paid off.
