Whitefish Lake Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I was surprised at how many people can't swim a straight line. I must have had the same person cross diagonally in front of me about 10 times.

Not get into a race at the start and just set my pace and go.

No idea about my transition time

This felt really good - I practiced this quite a few times so I wouldn't get overwhelmed. I didn't have a suit to worry about either which was probably good.

Had trained some hills but wasn't quite prepared for these hills. Although they weren't terrible. My time was around 43 minutes according to my bike computer. Which was a bit slower than I had hoped but I felt it was good.

Eaten something like a gel or had more energy drink.

Again, I felt pretty good about this. Had practiced a bunch.

The run was definitely the hardest part for me - I was pretty tired at the start but settled in to a comfortable pace, held it, and finished at right about the overall time I thought I would probably put up.

Train more bricks, and run more and longer.

Walked around, drank water, ate a banana. Walked stuff back to vehicle.


limited training. I think if I had been training longer than 9.5 weeks I could have done a bit better.


This was a really good first race. Great group of people, good activities afterward, and a really friendly crowd. Plus, Whitefish Lake is just an awesome place and I couldn't imagine a more scenic place to hold a tri.
