Race Reports for Metroplex Sprint Triathlon 2009

Race rating (4)

Comments: This was a good race for newbies to do since it is short and Jack always runs a tight race. It was fun to see all the kids out there. Also a good race for us vets as a change of pace since IM and long course training can get kind of boring without some sort of break. Fun day, quick in and out race with the rest of the day to do what you want other than train/race.

Comments: This was my first triathlon. My goal was to just finish. I did that but I had higher expectations on the swim. I think better positioning myself for the start would have helped a lot. I've swam farther distances in the pool with less effort. Just need to settle down and focus on breathing and gliding on my strokes. Toughen my feet a little better for the pavement. OUCH... The bike portion was fine. I used my road(Training) bike which is better suited for hilly or long climb courses where power is needed. Plus I train on those in the arbuckles where climbs are 10+min each. I'm glad the run was fairly flat as I've struggled on open roads with my pace. The best I can muster is a 8:30 in the gym but on the road the conditions are different could work on turnover and efficiency. We'll see how much better I do in July on the same course!!! See Ya'll then.
