Terramuggus Sprint Triathlon Series - Race #3 - TriathlonSprint

I had the worst swim yet. I cruised out to the buoy and felt great, but got caught up in a group after the buoy and used up all of my energy. There were some guys in front of me losing energy, so they were swimming erratically, but I couldn't get by them. After several attempts and getting pounded, I ended up exhausted and needed to change strokes for a little breather for awhile.

Maybe find a way to get out of the pile-up at the buoy more quickly. Swing wider out?

T times weren't clocked. I transitioned fine, but I opted to walk rather than run the bike after getting so demoralized in the swim.

I felt fine on the bike leg, but I'm always comfortable on the bike. I think I did well on the climbs, but probably didn't push for as much speed as I could have on the flats.

Attack the flats with a little more vigor.

I'd love to get some aero bars. By observation, they did seem to make a difference in flat and downhill speed for those who had them.

No issues

Yuck, it was an awful run for me. I had a side stitch the whole time and had trouble breathing.

I would have used my inhaler before the event and maybe during the transition.

Ha. Warm down? Grinders and beer.


Getting caught in a jam on the swim and not using my inhaler.
Maybe better nutrition.


This is definitely a fun race series.
I wasn't feeling my best during the race, but I still had a great time. Fun with friends, grinders, beer, catching a token from the prize table... Life is good.
