Tritonman UCSD Sprint - TriathlonSprint

Was able to draft of the lead guy. Was able to finish swim in second place. After we caught up the first few waves, then I lost my drafting guy as I bumped into the tail of another swimmer. Then on my own for the rest.

Don't know. Keep closer focus on the person you draft.

The transition area was muddy and sandy. So I was unable to leave shoes onto the bike and take off in socks or bear foot. This would of carried a lot of sand and mud inside my shoes. Don't think so. Since college waves were in front of us, they had watered the sand and mud.

I think I did as best as I could pending the condition of the transition.

First loop felt a little light and took me most of the first loop to regain control of my breathing from the end of the swim. Don't know what happened, but that hurted. Then second and third loop got better. Good ride overall.

Train more on the bike. Mileage is been a little lacking lately. OK, maybe a lot from my training.

Felt good. Couldn't take shoes off since it was wet on muddy. So kept shoes on.

Not much due to the course terrain.

Felt OK from the transition on the run. Then about half way out, gut got a side stich, worked it our, then felt good on the way home. Kept pace right behind one of the college girl that was just perfect pace for me to push.

Keep up and keep on running more. Improving well, and just work on more speed and distance.

Walked around, and stretch.


Training. Overall very happy for this early in the year.


This race is definitively cattered toward college people. Would advise for beginner. Most athletes are very fast on this course. 75% collegiate people with families also racing. Not many new beginner.
I would do it in a hearbeat. Awesome race.
