The Couple's Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

There was plenty of support for the swim. There were a ton of kayaks out there as well as boats. I got kicked in the mouth and goggles not far from the start. I swallowed a good bit of water and my right eye never suctioned properly after that. I had to stop every so often to let the water out. I did not breathe properly and even get into any type of stride until I hit the first buoy. After the first buoy I relaxed and started to actually swim.

Try to relax and find my rythm faster.

I ran up to transition as it was a pretty good distance. I found my transition area quickly and was a little slow on getting the rocks and dirt off of my feet before putting on my cycling shoes.

Leave some water @ my transition mat to wash my feet off.

There were a good bit of hills on the bike course. I saw alot of people that were just creeping up the hills. I found it alot easier to just keep the pace up and push through to the top. Once you stop, you're done.

Besides going faster nothing.

I had to put on my knee brace and it was proving to be a challenge. I was in transition way too long.

Get faster with the knee brace if I need to use it again.

My knee started to hurt pretty good right after the first turn around (maybe 1/2 mile). I had to slow poke it all the way.

Nothing. I dealt with my knee pain the best I could. Hopefully it will get better soon.

Walked for a minute or so and then went to cheer on the others.


My knee problem.


Jack and Adams seems to always put on great events.
