Just finished first sprint triathlon.

Race report

My bed Feels so good after sprint tri btw but to do a recap

The swim was very scary at the start. First 100m i had hit 2 people got hit once and i have turned the wrong way after body hit and swim towards the middle of river for 25m lol couldn't see a damn thing Coming out of the river slipped and fell down once.

The cycle was very fun i was able to pass some folks it was fun to cheer others and only down part was i had two bottle full of electrolytes i felt sick after drinking too much salt lol at 15 km mark i was thirsty and had a salty taste in my mouth

The run was the hardest i was bleeding a little from fall, body was exhausted did 1.5k without stopping but after that i had to run walk run at this point leg was like a brick.

Finished about 6th in 7 from cyldesdale(220+ weight limit), maybe 33th out of 35 mens but dude who dropped down from 352 pounds to 295 pounds, it was fun and meaningful race! :)

Hopping i can try out for Olympics tri next spring of 2027 and go full gas for 70.3 next fall of 2027!
