Iriquois Point Island Club Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

TERRIBLE SWIM!!!!!!! Water was pretty chilly and there was a pretty good surf on the way out. It took me 6 minutes to get to the first buoy.

Need to get into the water before the start, however the pre-race brief impeded that. Need to beach train more.

Great transition! Top in my age group. Next guy in my age group was 10 secs behind me.

Nothing. Good transition.

Had a good ride. I felt strong and was passing people pretty easily. Need to get out of the water sooner to set myself up for a better placing after the bike.

Need to focus on pulling up on the pedals a little.

Not a bad transition. Nowhere as good as T1. Took a few extra seconds to grab a gatorade drink off my bike before leaving T2.

Drink on the way in to T2. There was also an aid station at the exit of transition. There was no need for the drink in T2.

Had a pretty good run. Ended up slowing at the mid course aid station to get my gel pack down. That cost me a few seconds. Need to work on that.

Had a really good finish. Made a move on the guy in front of me about 1/3 of a mile before finish and it paid off. It moved me up one spot in my age group.

Different fuel? I slowed because the gel was thick and I needed to get water down.

Stretched after a banana, bread and water. Took a slow jog back to transition to get my gear.


SWIM, SWIM, SWIM


My only gripe was the late pre-race brief. It was supposed to go from 6:30 to 6:45 which would have allowed a few minutes in the water before the start. The brief wasn't held until 6:45 and we had to run over to the swim start 2 minutes before the gun.
