 Swim
Comments: I wasn't very good at the zigzag transition between lanes... Also, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed/nervous and this affected my breathing. Several (6) people passed me, but I do not feel that I was going overly slow (for me). What would you do differently?: Practicing the zigzagging across the pool beforehand would have been useful.... Otherwise, general work on swimming better will help in the swim portions.  Transition 1
Comments: I was out of breath for the swim so did not transition as quickly as I could have... What would you do differently?: Practice transitioning after vigorous swim workouts to help maintain focus and get a routine down....  Bike
Comments: I thought i did good on the bike, and even made use of the aero position to be more dynamic on the windy streets. What would you do differently?: Practice turning corners more quickly/efficiently. Also, need to be able to stop and start with less fuss. (Getting feet back in the cages, etc). Transition 2
Comments: Quick transition, not too much problem here. What would you do differently?: Grab a gel and some water.  Run
Comments: Tired - not enough fuel... Ended up walking a bit but my pace was otherwise fast. What would you do differently?: Fuel up before/during... Post race
Warm down: I rested. What limited your ability to perform faster: My swimming ability, lack of food. Event comments: Good practice race. Profile Album Last updated: 2005-02-25 12:00 AM

Veteran 247 Mesa, AZ | Subject: RE: Tri-Family racing Sprint Triathlon Hey I just ran this race today as well. Congrats on a great race! This is the first time I swam a TRI in a pool, that zigzagging thing was interesting to say the least. I'm not sure if I miss having the mass start mayhem. Overall I thought it was a great day. |

Veteran 188 Tucson, Arizona | Subject: RE: Tri-Family racing Sprint Triathlon Count me as a survivor of this race! The zigzag in the pool was interesting, but I had a tough time with the bike. The portions that had narrowed down to a glorified bike lane were tough to pass on, so I just didn't. I waited until they opened up to a complete lane. The other challenge was the marking area for laps. It reminded me of the pit stop area in NASCAR. I figured for sure there was going to be a wreck with people angling for position out of there. But all went well. I think everyone had a good time and didn't worry too much about placement. As for myself, this was my first tri after training for 6 weeks so I guess I'm happy with my times. It's a PR for me! BTW, I was passed by 3 people in the pool. |

Stood around for a long time while the children's race started and finished... The race director seemed frazzled! Fortunately there were good restrooms available in the Eldorado Aquatic Center, and the lines were short. I stayed in sweats until last minute and tried to get off my feet as much as possible.
