Comments:

Pretty crazy start process. Swam at faster pace than normal so breathing and stroke were not at best rhythm. Passed by one and I passed one. Climbed out and exit timing mat was about 100 yds out.
Transition 1
  • 02m 50s
Comments:

OK this is where the cold protection slowed the process. Put on a long sleeve top, windbreaker jacket and gloves. Did ok but slow to get on gloves over wet hands and zip jacket. Forgot to transfer Garmin to bike. Not worth wearing Garmin.
What would you do differently?:

Not even worry about the Garmin.

  • 02m 49s
Comments:

My feet and fingers were so cold that getting into my run shoes was incredibly slow. Finally just stomped my feet into shoes. Forgot to grab my race number belt.
What would you do differently?:

Above, and grab race belt moron.

Age Group: 7/12
Overall: 264/391 m
Performance: Average
Course: 2 loops of rolling 1 mile road with a 300 yard uphill section that hurt. Couldn't feel my lower legs and feet for first half. Then I realized I forgot my race belt, asked an official and said I needed to get it to get a legit finish. So at mile 1.5 I dashed back into the transition area, avoided all runners, bikers, timing mats and grabbed it. Probably about 300 yards additional distance. Got back on course and finished as strong as possible.
Keeping cool Good Drinking
