May Madness Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

first open water swm, i stayed to the left of the course line to avoid peopl, it also made navigation easier, since i could see group on right.

I started out at the back since I was a newbie. However I will start closer to the front next time. I passed a lot of people who could not swim well and I could not start my rhythm until after the first buoy. I will also push on the swim. It is relatively short and I could do alot better.

I took my time to switch over. No rush at all, so next time I will push some.

I only have a hybrid bike with the fat tires. I also used my running shoes and tow clips. Overall I need more training over getting a better bike.

Practice on a longer distance with some interval pushes.

Already had running shoes on. So dump and run.

My legs were tired at this point. My achilles tendon was sore from training and my right leg was in slight pain. Also I stopped for a minute or two at the start of the run due to equipment failure.

Make sure equipment is in order for run.

none


Lack of muscle endurance in bike and run.


For a first time race I highly recommend this race. The smaller number of participants and a significant number of first timers, made it the right pace.
