A note on Dr. DJ Jack's
2020, 2024 and subsequent annual sprint triathlons

My annual Mission Bay Sprint Triathlon (MBST), scheduled for Sunday, October 11th in 2020 was cancelled due to covid restrictions. However, in commemoration of the event which I have participated in (and completed) the previous 10 years, I took it on my own to Swim, Bike, and Run the usual Triathlon distances on a course of my own creation with all event distances equivalent to, or greater than, those of the MBST.

Some Other Notes on subsequent sprint triathlons:

1.) 2023 was my last Mission Bay Sprint Triathlon (which I did complete but did not record the event times). My triathlons subsequent to 2023 were all very similar to the one I created in 2020. That event now goes by the name of NHNWJDA [aka No Hurries No Worries Just Dancing Around] Sprint Trathlon.

2.) The usual MBST Swim, Bike, and Run distances are 500 meters (0.31 miles), 17 km (~10.6 miles), and 5 km (3.1 miles) respectively. The typical distances for the NHNWJDA triath are at least those in the MBST; my distances in the 2026 event were, Swim = 1000 meters (0.62 miles); Bike = 32km (~20 miles); Run (Jog) = 5km (~3.1 miles)

3.) The usual order of the MBST triathlon events are Swim, Bike, Run. The event order in the NHNWJDA Sprint Triathlon is typically Run, Bike, Swim (topped off with good soak in the hot tub :-) but may vary if more convenient.

4.) My overall event times (excluding event transition times) in the NHNWJDA Sprint Triathlon are comparable to events prior to 2024 although the longer transition times for NHNWJDA triaths most likely go a long way to explaining the similarity.

5.) more later :-)
