Carmel Sprint Triathlon (formerly Splash, Flash & Dash) - TriathlonSprint

They started people about every 2 seconds so it ended up being a pile up at every wall. Came up under somebody on the first turn, after that I took my time at every wall so I wouldn't end up under somebody again. Hard to pass people who were swimming 4 wide, kindof had to swim at the people around me's pace.

Be more careful around the turns so I don't end up running into and under people, push my way around people.

Everything was wet from the rain, but for something not ever practiced or done, it seemed alright.

Set myself up a bit better so it all goes a bit smoother

Once I figured out the whole passing thing (about 2.5 miles in) I started going really well. Since the course was wet I slowed down a bunch around every corner and over the speed bump, I didn't want to fall.

Start out and don't get scared about passing people, know that I can go faster than I thought I could.

Ran in and racked my bike took off the helmet and ran out.

Took my helmet off while running the bike.

Legs didn't like me at first, walked up the hill beside the high school, walked through the water station, other than that went pretty well, about the pace I would have wanted.

Do more BRICK workouts, legs weren't ready for the change from biking to running.

Walked around a bit drinking a bottle of water and eating a banana.


Swim - lanes not wide enough to pass people very easily
Bike - get used to passing people and just pass them instead of riding at their pace
Run - more brick workouts so legs get into the run quicker.


Well run race, wish the weather would have cooperated.
