J-Hawk Early Bird Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I swear my time is better than what was posted!

Train more and swim more of it freestyle. I also need to put myself in a faster group.

I was pretty pleased here, I didn't have much to do here. I did wear 2 heavy long sleeve shirts that slowed me down to put on and to wear.

Not use the restroom! I need better shirts/gear.

My chain came off on mile 2 and cost me a couple of minutes and some stress. I was assisted by a great volunteer. (thank you). I was so slow, but I didn't train outside hardly at all- so that is what I get.

Train more outside and longer distances. I didn't do enough in my training and it showed and cost me. I take full responsibility.

Very easy since I ran in the same shoes I biked. All I needed to do was grab my IPOD.

I walked, jogged, walked, jogged, then sprinted the last 100 yds. I passed 10 and was passed by 3-4. I tried to stay with this one guy and we kept trading the lead, but he got me in the end by 20 seconds.

Wear my Vibram 5 finger shoes, I didn't like the regular shoes.

not much, the volunteers basically rip the chip off your leg 5 seconds after you finish- kinda annoying.

My wife and younger daughter were at the finish with a gift and a smile- how lucky am I?


2 heavy long sleeve shirts.
Poor bike training
Bike problems on course
Didn't like the shoes I had on.
Overconfidence


I thought the staff did a great job. The race was very well organized and fun. This is a great first race and I'm sure many returners enjoy it also. Beautiful country bike ride. Somewhat challenging course- but shouldn't it be? Great job staff and organizers.
