Dewey Beach Sprint Triathlon - Triathlon

I asjusted my swim vs T1 time because the Transition are was so far away, and I really walked it in. Technically the swim ends when I hit the mat. I was out of the water before ne guy in my wave, that's it. I was a wreck from this swim. The swim is why I do this race. A dead flat bike and run for a sprint, not really worth the trip. But the swim. I never get to sim in the oceani, and it shows, in 2011 I felt ok about the swim. In 2012 it nearly destroyed me with the current shift. In 2013 it looked to be an easy day. The waves were slight. Nothing ike I saw the last two years. But I was still seasick and nauseated. I relied on the current to sweep me south. I thought I'd get sick three times. I took in more water than ever before. It was weird.

I'm considering dramamine for sea racing. But that causes drowsiness, so maybe I'll come up with my own club drink like the kids today, and slam a dramamine and red bull combo. That sounds totally safe doesn't it?

A transitin time 1/3 the leg time. That should say something. I was a mess from this swim. It has to be an innate seasickness. Te week before I swam twice as far in the potomac with no similar side effects.

Bring two buckets. One to sit on, one to puke into.

Get aero.

This was so long because I did use the port-o-san.(Ever since the movie Woodstock I call them all a port-o-san.)

Be a real triathlete and pee on the bike. In a sprint. It would still be better than texting on the bike, which I saw.

Right to food table and then out the door with no beer. I didn't have time. We started late and I needed a shower at the motel before check out.


Poseidon.


They never start on time. But I'll take that reality with the rest of the laid-back vibe and ease of bringing a family.
