TriRock San Diego - Olympic Course : Official Thread

lmhutch86 - 2011-12-27 4:49 PM I am registered this year so you wont be dead last, Maybe just second to last...Its all in good fun anyway!

Ok we'll drag eachother over the finish line if we have to!

It is an exciting race, the biggest I had ever been to.  I had done only sprints prior to this race so I wasn't sure what to expect. 

Suggested idea for finding your bike in the racks...put a flag on the end of your rack isle or some tape on the ground.  One lady I spoke with after the race said she couldn't find her bike; she had a really nice bike and thought it would be easy to spot until she realized lots of racers had the exact same really nice bike! 

I kinda wish they would start the Olympic before the Sprint, that way slow people like me wont be coming in totally late!  This will be my first Olympic and I am not ready at all, but bring it on anyway!  Hoping to have an amazing swim and good bike, but hope my run doesnt suck too bad!  Everyone post bib #s when we get them, I will be on the lookout!

You will do fine. Last year I was in last and the bands still played for the stragglers but the aid stations only had water and no Heed.  Hopefully that will be changed too.

What are you swimming at now and biking?  This event is huge and its a bit out of my league but I am so glad they changed the bike...that is going to help me a lot!  

Good luck all!

Lauren, I am so sorry I could not find you...helps if I remember your bib number! How did you do?  Other than the swim I really enjoyed myself.  As soon and my feet hit the water they cramped so badly.  But a quick stretch and that was fixed.  Then I put my goggles on and there was something all over them that I did not have enough time to wipe off!  I couldn't see at all!  So  I had to keep  lifting my goggles up to see where  to go...I couldn't even see the person in front of me...soooo I had a horrible swim!  The rest of the race was what I pictured...my bike was actually a little slower than I had hoped, 17 mph instead of 18.  That is just a more training issue, same with the run.  I finished strong and even chicked a guy who I had passed then he would pass me through the entire run.  Finished stronger this year!
