Sandman Triathlon - Triathlon

some tough surf to get through and then out to the turn buoy and swim along the beach. fairly large swells made sighting nearly impossible; only one buoy at the far end, but it was rarely visible due to swells blocking the view. once around the buoy and heading back in, got pounded by a large wave. very happy to be back on the beach

1/6 AG, 15/115 F, 115/402 OA

I did pretty well considering the conditions; could have settled in sooner and could have gone at it a bit harder.

1 AG, 4/115F, 36/402

could have gotten out of my wetsuit a little faster

the Garmin on my bike decided to randomly go into and out of auto-pause the whole time; couldn't get any useful info from it. I was wearing another on my wrist, but it was very hard to try to glance at it.

aerodrink straw was in a poor spot making it hard to drink

right aerobar was loose the whole ride.

passed 3 women, passed by one

ride harder dammit!

left shoe came off the pedal during my moving dismount :( otherwise, a good transition

1 AG, 20/115 F, 98/402 OA

2nd race where these new tri shoes came off the pedal; need new cleats maybe?

ran it hard and made it hurt; probably went out too hard since I fell off the pace in the middle

1/6 AG, 33/115 F, 225/402 OA

probably still had a little more to give

tough swim conditions; still not living up to what I think I'm capable of on the bike


well organized before and during the race, not so much after. we were told that this was the RD's first year doing the race. "major computer glitch" meant no result or awards after the race. awards to be mailed.
