Lonestar Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I should have had a faster time on this. I'm still zig-zagging too much. Got elbowed in face in the first minute, but no cool bruises to show for it.

Sight more, stay closer to the buoys.

When I saw this time I thought, what in the heck was I doing, having a picnic?!? First time de-wetsuiting plus I ride in my running shoes. Maybe it's time to investigate other footwear options for both biking and running.

Try different footwear that doesn't require so much time to don.

The cross winds were nasty. My pace was better than last year, but I was hoping to make up more time in this section. It dropped my AG position from the swim by 15 places. I do feel like I used the gears to my full advantage. I was a lot more aggressive about keeping and gaining positions, too.

Need to be more aerodynamic. Other than that, I'm not sure how to deal with the crosswinds except to muscle through it.

Legs buckled coming off the bike. That was unexpected, but luckily not the disaster it could have been. Shoes already on. I think I did great here, it's just a pretty good distance between bike exit and run start.

Rack the bike more smoothly.

I felt pretty good in the run, though I'm curious what my lap info would be. I think miles one and three were well below average pace, but mile 2 was well above. I felt like I was doing as best as I could, leaving not much in the gas tank.

Continue to improve my pace in race conditions.

Spent most of the time looking for my family in the crowd. Next time we'll have to come up with a meeting place. :)


Aerodynamics on the bike and getting a smooth transition in T1. If my T1 had simply been average, I would have moved up 4 postions in my AG. Arrrgh.


Like the course, hate the crosswinds, but that's just the island. Post-race food was a bit meager compared to others I've been to. I really liked the results table where you could get your time. Much better than crowding around something posted. I'll definitely be doing this again!
