1st in Age Group, 2011 Santa Cruz Sprint Triathlon

Great short sprint race leading up to Nationals next weekend. This was the first sprint distance triathlon for me this year, as the Stanford one turned into a dualthon back in February.  Last year, I got first in the Olympic distance version of this race but I didn't want to do two Olympic distance races on back to back weekend.  I'm not a huge fan of the sprint distance since the swim and bike are so short but it is a good speed workout. 

The organization by Finish Line Productions was good. There was a great group of volunteers who made everything run smoothly. For the beach start, I practice my dolphin dives on the swim entry and it worked out well.  On the bike, I averaged just over 21 mph.  My plan on the run was to work on my run pacing but I ended up forgetting my Garmin watch at home. So I just had to run for the sake of running.

All in all, a great day.  We had to wait longer than the actual race to get the awards but that's just one of those things that happens. :-)
