Pioneer Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Pleased with my swim. Not real fast but I did pass some people. Felt very relaxed.

Nothing, happy with my swim.

Left foot slipped off pedal trying to clip in, ok once I got clipped in. Otherwise transition was good.

Pleased with the bike leg. This was only my fourth ride on the new bike and I was not disappointed. Got frustrated right at the end on the last turn back to the transition zone, there was a truck right in the middle of the road. Driver seemed confused about the police car blocking the road. I had to slow down sharply, no way to get around it as people were coming out of transition.

Just need more time on the bike.

My transition area had been disrupted somewhat, probably somebody tripped, so my running gear was out of order. Got a little flustered but didn't lose too much time.

This is where I struggled, and it was almost the two mile mark before I found my legs. Need more bike/run bricks to get over this. Walked up the bigger hills and was actually able to catch up with people who ran slowly up the hills. Breathing was rough. There was some leaf burning going on and this irritated my asthma.

Just need lots more bricks and speed work.

Walked around. Wished I had a beer.


Only criticism I have is that the rack I was assigned to was very crowded. Was fine until about three people came in at the last minute and tried to cram their bikes in between mine and the bike on the end. They started moving people's bikes around. I told them not to touch mine. Yeah, I'm an a**hole, but if you want a choice spot, get there early.
