Carmel Sprint Triathlon (formerly Splash, Flash & - TriathlonSprint

Ok, this was nuts. My only grrrrr part of the whole event. I was seeded fairly fast but I am a swimmer, so it was ok. They started the race, sent us one right after the other and we were off. Made it 100 meters and they stopped us, made us get out, and restart. Timing problem or something. Then someone seeded way back jumped to the front and yeah, that was pretty much a problem. Not real sure how he was allowed to do that, but I caught him within 75 meters, and everyone else did too, led to dog paddle and treading water at every wall. So other than that, it was pretty good. Just chaotic, and a little different.

Well, I dont know, I guess for an indoor swim like this, practice flip turns going under the lane ropes. Who practices that??? I need to. Other than that, not really anything.

Gotta practice this!! seemed to take forever!!

Practice, and probably clip the shoes onto my bike, I had a hard time running in my bike shoes.

I actually think this was my favorite part of the tri. I could really see myself liking biking the best out of all three areas.

Ride the bike a ton more!!!!!!!!

I found out I can't run in my biking shoes. The pavement was wet. The other horrible thing was I had everything in a trash bag because of the rain. It took me forever to get my running shoes out of that stupid thing!!

Practice more. Run barefoot to the rack

Oh my God where are my legs!?!?! That sucked. I ran for what seemed like forever then all the sudden I see a sign that says "mile 1" What!!!! The guy next to me said the same thing. Actually pretty comical. Overall though, really happy. That is really tough though.

Just run more. Lots more

Ate everything in sight.


Lack of experience and definately have to train harder.


Really great race. The swim was a little crazy but this race was run flawlessly. I will definately do it again. Great time
