Lake Geneva Triathlon - Sprint Distance - TriathlonSprint

Being my first time I was not nervous at all I just wanted to get started. I started off in the middle of the pack and kept a steady speed concentrating on breathing. After I rounded the buoy I gave it all I had. I was passing people, it was awesome

Start faster next time and be more aggressive for positions.

It went pretty good for my first transition. I ran to my spot and got there fairly quickly. I wore a normal suit with under amour under them, so ripped the suit off and put cloths, socks, and shoes on and took off for the exit

not spend as much time drying my feet and putting socks on.

The bike leg came before I knew it and I wasn't mentally ready, but got over that in the first mile. I started strong but the long hills are what kill me. I would pass people on the straight aways and down hills. They passed me going up hill. I thought the course was fun and challenging. Rough rail road crossings with scattered water bottles after them.

Practice more on the bike. Practice more hills. I new this was my weakest part.

I was close to the bike entrance so that helped out a lot. I lost some time putting tape on my nipples because They will bleed during the race If I don't. Jogged to the exit and shook my hands off.

Tape earlier or lose weight so I don't have to tape. other than that nothing.

The run was solid for me. I did not stop running once and held a great pace. I had a hard time drinking water at the water stations because I was breathing hard. Didn't get to drink much water. The hill was steep but I kept at it and didn't stop. The run down was great and was actually passing people while running. Sprinted to the finish line. I was happy about the run.

I would drink water exiting the transition area while jogging.

Walk around and ate some fruit and drank water. Went to transition area and stretched out.


Nothing really held me back.


Being my first triathlon I didn't have many expectations going in and just wanted to have fun. I definitely had fun and got to meet a few people. I was happy about my results and I am already looking at the schedule for the next one. This race was a lot more than a race for me. I lost 120 pounds in 7 months for me to get to where I am today. If I hadn't lost the weight I would have never ran this triathlon. I am looking forward to the next one.
