Pleasant Prairie Triathlon - Sprint - TriathlonSprint

Black and Navy caps - bad idea - hard to see at a glance.
I must have gotten some of my suit juice inside my goggles, because they were extremely foggy. Had to stop and wipe them out a couple times during the swim.

Wear metallic goggles stay focused on pace

Still fighting with the clasp on my helmet. Slid into my shoes easily. No socks!!

Set up my helmet so the straps aren't twisted. Practice jumping on bike. Never really thought about doing that before.

Felt strong on the bike. Perhaps too comfortable. I suprised to see that my pace was slower than Racine.

I always feel like I should have pushed harder on the bike. Never really out of breath or fatigued. Don't know what I'm waiting for. I would like to get some aerobars before the olympic. Need to remember to pull up.

pretty smooth transition

First time I didn't feel like stopping the entire run although I didn't pass a single female. Walked the water stops and grabbed Gatorade at the first stop and water/gatorade at the second. Pushed it home.

Pick up the pace right at mile 3 instead of waiting to spot the finish line.

Recoverite


Confidence to push myself on the bike and perhaps overall. No soreness at all the following day. I even had a great swim Monday morning.


Great race overall. Next time I'll have a better feeling for how far the parking is and plan my morning better so I don't have to stress about making it before transition closes.
A little annoyed with the black and navy swim caps. Too difficult to quickly spot other swimmers.
Had a GREAT day and will most likely do it again.
