Tri-the-Parks: Mistletoe St. Park - TriathlonSprint

What a mess, I was swimming to the wrong buoy, following somebody which I won't do again! The boat had to drive out and tell us to change directions, then a 90 degree turn. But I still had the fastest swim in my age group despite the extra yardage!

Not follow anyone. I do fine spotting the buoys myself. Also, check the buoys out better before leaving shore.

Maybe put on fewer clothes. I could have made up some time here since my age group was really close in time.

I stayed in the big wheel the whole time and felt like I was hammering. It was MUCH faster than my last time. Having a computer on the bike really helps me do better because I can see how fast I am going or not going.

Watch the turns and practice clipping out. I get freaked out and forget how to dismount.

Wow, this was a great transition and I didn't even realize it. I earned 22 seconds better than all in my group.

I thought I was going so much faster than this. I guess since my bike was so strong, I was tired for run. I really want to pick up the running pace from now on but I think I need to practice fast running or it won't happen.

Practice running faster. Don't walk so much

None, I felt really, really good after this tri.


a PR so it was best for me! I actually had trained enough to do this without too much strain. It was a lot of fun, versus my first where I was simply trying to finish. My goal was 1:40; my dream was 1:30 and I finished in 1:28:36!!! I guess I didn't calculate that very well. But also I've improved a lot of the bike since the first tri. Running wasn't any better; in fact it was slightly slower.
