 Swim
Comments: My swimming needs some work.. i my join a tri club to help will swimming What would you do differently?: I would spent more time on swim technique.  Transition 1
Comments: i was really winded from the swim. i was very indecisive about wearing socks or not. I felt i took to long What would you do differently?: I would practice the transition.. i would have my mind made up about socks, jersey, etc  Bike
Comments: the switch from the swim to bike was very challenging. i need to work on cadence What would you do differently?: my training on the bike needs to increase and add some hills.. Transition 2
Comments: this transition felt somewhat easier because i was breathing better What would you do differently?: pick up the pace exiting the bike..  Run
Comments: during the run i was pretty relaxed.. my legs took about a half mile to loosen for the bike ride. What would you do differently?: I would have picked up the pace a little earlier. i held back, because going back to the finish line was uphill. Post race
Warm down: i did some stretching.. and i took a cool shower when i got home What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of knowledge in race preperation... psyched myself out Event comments: it was my first race... didn't have to many expectations... the coordination of the race was great.. it was a good time... this is a race i will continue to do Last updated: 2007-03-28 12:00 AM

Champion 6107 Out running or enjoying a fine glass of red... | Subject: RE: Smithfield Sprint Triathlon Congratulations on your 1st tri! Smithfield was my first too. I have no expertise, but I'm guessing your transitions will be faster now that you know what to expect. (I spent most of the time waiting for my swim start watching everyone else do T1 and T2 - I was psyched out about them too.) Krissten |

Champion 6962 Atlanta, Ga | Subject: RE: Smithfield Sprint Triathlon Rockin the Smithfield Tri! Great job man. It's all about the learning curve. No need to psych yourself out, it's a long season. Remember that no decision made on Race day is a wrong one. Unless it's to quit. That's not allowed. :P |
