Splash, Flash & Dash Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I underestimated my swim time and ended up passing a lot of swimmers.

Wear Aquashere XP's.

It is hard for me to run in cycling shoes.

Wear 1-piece tri-suit on non-wetsuit tri's.

Ride was good with not much congestion until near the finish when a vehicle got in the way and then stopped abruptly. When this happened, I had to swerve into the left lane and just narrowly avoided crashing with another cyclist.( sorry, youth rider who I scared!) I lost a water bottle when I missed my cage replacing it.

Put Gatorade Endurance bottle in front cage and water in rear cage. Make sure bike is in proper gear at start. Consider buying tri shoes.

For some reason T2 and run time is combined so I don't know my true times for each section. I estimated the T2 time, but really have no idea if this is accurate.

Wear racing flats which have speed laces instead of my trainers. That would have saved time.

Started out with heavy legs but settled into steady pace for the the entire run.

Get new sunglasses. Mine bounce on my nose.

Stretched legs.


I took it easy this race. I have had some knee pain and haven't trained for the last two weeks and I wanted to see how my knees would react. I wanted to see if I could regain training and not hurt them again. Today is Monday and they feel okay.


A little chilly in gym waiting for the swim start when you are only in your swim suit, but overall a very nice event.
