Comments:

Went out easy from the gun; couple of running steps into the water and then a shallow dive before settling in. I was good to the first buoy, feeling pretty strong and comfortable and then the lack of swimming kicked in. I could feel my form fall apart and I was able to hang on to feet for a couple of strokes before falling out of the draft. I just aimed to settle into a nice pace and stay long and strong throughout. After the turn buoy to head back to shore I was taking several waves to the face which was surprising since there was very little chop and it didn't seem to matter which side I was breathing on, I was taking on water. Swim until my hand touched the bottom, stood and jogged up the beach.

Comments:

Not a bad ride but I was more cautious with wet pavement than I have been in the past; took most turns easy and just tried to stay safe for the most part. This is a challenging course with the hills and I just tried to stay comfortable to setup a decent run. Effort seemed a little low in many spots but I just didn't have the extra gear that I wanted. Tried to stay tucked in aero and make the best of it.
What would you do differently?:

More riding.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Solid transition
Run
  • 25m 52s

Comments:

Run started okay with out of transition but like the bike, I just had nothing behind this. I cranked up the pace a couple of times but there was no sustaining it so I settled in and did the best I could. Cruised the finish to cap an enjoyable day.
What would you do differently?:

Run more
Post race
Warm down:

Walked and then rode home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training

Event comments:

Good race - need to train more to go faster.

I have always been an athlete, growing up playing team sports like basketball and soccer. I also ran in a couple of 10K races every year, so I had no reason to worry about running a 5K...right?

After I left the running store, I couldn't stop thinking about the sprint tri and how much of a challenge it would be for me. So instead of joining a gym, I started riding my bike and it felt great.

A product review of the Louis Garneau Tri Air Triathlon Shoe. After nearly two years of testing, see how this shoe performed. Currently being replaced by the Tri Air 2.

I couldn’t help but feel that the race had beaten me. Perhaps duathlons were more for me? No, I was more determined than ever to succeed. I was determined to get on top of my swimming.

This life of mine is not so different from yours. It has a multitude of similarities. I suffer from uncertainty, I get nervous at the thought of registering and when getting to the starting line.

I am not going to buy a tri-suit before my first tri - I want to make sure I am going to stick with this before I spend a lot of money on it so I want to figure out what will work best.

I couldn't believe that my splits kept getting lower! I started to run harder after I passed the "5 km" sign and picked a few people that I wanted to pass.
