Michigan's Triathlon & Duathlon Championship - Sprint Distance - TriathlonSprint

This was a much better swim than my first tri. I did the breaststroke only to navigate. I did do the back stroke just for a second, not even sure why i did it. I felt great the whole swim.

Just get in the pool more, also try to swim past the slower swimmers ahead of me rather than keeping pace. I got a little frustrated today with slower swimmers.

I lost most of my time here running from the swim to the T1 area.

I need to work on getting on the bike with the shoes on the pedals.

Felt good on the bike, the course was a bit congested do to traffic. It was damn cold out there, I couldn't feel my quads for a good bit.

I need to work on a better cadence, I was either too high or too low, I rarely was comfortable with my cadence.

Need to get better at getting socks on and running, or learn to run without socks. GET ZIP STRING LACES!

Had my shoes undone but forgot to put my feet on top of the shoes, almost fell over. I saved it just in time.

Get laces.

I felt pretty good off the bike and running. My HR was relatively low, unfortunately i got a side cramp at about mile 1.75 and couldn't run through it. I just couldn't take deep enough breaths, walked for about 2 minutes, then ran the rest.

Just keep on running.

stretched a few, ate a bit.


Just my lack of time training, been training now for about 10 weeks total.


All in all a good race, other than the cold.
