Wyckoff-Franklin Lakes Triathlon - Triathlon

I had trouble getting my rhythm in the freestyle stronk because of the crowds. This caused me to have trouble breathing, which made me swim on my back every so often to catch my breath.

When I was able to get a good freestyle stroke going, I felt pretty good.

Everyone else must have done poorly also because this was the leg where I placed the best in the field.

Need more practice swimming to develop confidence.

Transition was very slow. For starters, I had to catch my breath. Then I had trouble getting out of my suit. The transition area was a wet, grassy field, so there was not much of a chance to run with the bike.

I could speed things up a bit.

I had a PR on the course, so I was pleased with the ride. I have been riding this course all spring so I know it well. That really helped.

I felt like my nutrition and drinking gatorade were fine.

If I had more time to train, I would have done the course faster. Other than that, not much too complain about.

Transition was slow. There was no real way to jump off the bike and run with it, given the st up. I had trouble racking the bike.

Do transition faster.

I felt good. I started out at an easy pace. No problme with most of the hills, except mile 3, where I had to walk a bit. Finished with a good sprint. I felt like my pace was pretty good. It was faster than I thought it would be.

Run the course ahead of time.

Walked around with wife. Had some water. Met with people from my Tri Club.


If I trained more, I am sure I would have been faster.


Great race. Had alot of fun. Looking forward to doing it next year.
