Take on the Heat Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Waited a long time to go. Took my time as I am not a good swimmer and still learning. BOY I am slow at swimming 14th out 18 in AG , 241 out 380ish - Not so good!

Go faster as I was too cautious and wanted to just make it through the swim. Also, not have accidentally kicked the girl behind me on the last lap! all I was thinking was get to the ladder and we were both making a bee line for it.

Boy was I slow. Did not have any sense of urgency as was so happy to get swim over with.

Run faster from pool to outside Transition area and not dry my self off too much

Quads got tight very early on!

Push harder during bike. This portion was the one I was most disappointed in as I have been biking quite a bit

Another slow transition. What can I say - this was my first tri!

MOVE IT! buy the quick zip shoe ties or whatever they are called as I had to retie my right shoe twice and almost forgot my bib number.

Yes my running background finally comes through. Passed around 18 people and averaged 6:33pace. Was first in my AG in run and 11th overall out 383. I think I could go faster if I actually did more than 1 practice bike to run brick. Legs felt tight first few mins and then loosened up 1/2 mile in.

could have pushed a little harder if I new where the 2 mile mark was.

stretching


MY First Tri - just nervous about swim


FINALLY My first TRI! cant wait to improve. I really felt I left 4 to 5 mins out there - mostly on swim and bike. I need to practice transitions as I never have before. I also only did one bike to run brick practice, so overall I am very HAPPY about my performance!!!!!!!!!!!!
