St. Patrick’s Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

The swim was absolutely horrible. On the middle two lanes there was not much space to pass people up because people would be coming towards you in addition to the people passing. In some instances when passing the swimmer in front you would have to pass two swimmers and make sure you wouldn't hit the other swimmers coming towards you in the face. Again none of the swimmers where in the order they were supposed to be. Some people started in the first 50 slots and had to stop multiple times or swim back stroke or chest stroke. That defeats the purpose of asking for estimated swim times when registering for the Tri.

Not sure there is anything i can do different.

The transition could have been a lot faster. Due to the rain all my plans had to get dropped. Couldn't get into the Long sleeve shirt and ended up only throwing the shirt on.

Practice both dry and wet weather scenarios. Transition time could easily be cut another 1.5 minutes.

Wish we could have done the whole course. The ride was not the fastest due to the wet conditions. I rode very careful and slowed down tremendously at the corners.

More bike training ... need to get more comfortable in the aero position and utilize my leg strength. Need to replenish my electrolyte levels more often especially during the ride.

The rack broke while I was out on the ride ... took some time to rack the bike and get it up safe without taking down all the other bikes.

Practice more to transition fast ... dry or wet conditions.

Had some stomach cramps due to nutritional issues.

Continue to work on pre-race and race nutrition.

Pancakes and stretching ....


Not enough specific training due to the Marathon training over the winter break.


Overall a great race ... thanks to all the volunteers that came out even though it was raining cats and dogs. Very well organized as usual by Dallas Athletes Racing.
