Tinsel Triathlon - Triathlon

It was a super short pool swim. I'm under the impression that any more than 150m of swimming may result in some people drowning.

I jumped in feet first expecting the bottom of the pool and sunk to the bottom of the 13 foot pool.

Pay attention to the fact that the pool is actually deep.

T1 was run to bike (this was an estimate time considering there were no spilts. Little bit of a log jam getting out of transition. Did a really good job transitioning. We do transition runs at turbo every Tuesday night so I'm getting fairly good and transitioning fast.

Nothing, I was really happy with this transition.

Hopped on the bike and spent a good amount of time passing people. I'm not the fastest biker but I've been working on pushing it and that's what I did. I usually I pass as many people as pass me but not in this race. I did a good amount of passing. Pushed a big gear throught the race. It was quite fun. I've never broken 20MPH average in a race and today was my day.

Consider pushing a little harder. I only had 150m swim left.

T2 was bike to swim. Dropped bike off, grabbed cap and goggles and I was off. I ran really fast to the pool.

nothing ... fastest transition ever

Paced myself great on the run. Really happy with what was left in the tank when I was done. I had enough to hammer out the bike course.

Consider pushing it a little harder. My running has improved but I still have a ways to go.

Jogged over to get towel from transition. Came back to finish to see my friend cross the finish line.


I think I may have held back just a little too much.


This is a great little race. They had an amazing turn out. From the reults page it appears that just over 1000 racers came out. Very cool. I would consider doing this race again.
