Tempe International Triathlon - Olympic Distance - TriathlonOlympic

Good swim for me.

Try to focus on drafting someone. Lts of missed opportunity.

Have not tried to start then put on shoes yet.

Nutrition, nutrition, nutrition. Failed to consume enough for my size.

Made up for the swim a bit according to plan, but did not use my nutrition plan and paid the price.

Who is stupid enough to put a flight of steps into a run course. This was a tri, not an adventure race or an xterra race. Was this director a fruit cake? "Oh the train will come here some day." - not on the run course! I have run around this lake many times and a path not including the steps is possible and actually practical!.

walk to the ESCKTC tent where Harry had beverages and a chair waiting!


Desire based upon lack of proper nutrition.


For me, lack of planning on the part of the race director (I understand emergencies happen, but no #2 person to take over and final results took weeks to post because of it) including palnning a run with stairs caused this to be an unpleasant race for me. Do not plan on attending in the future as the course was hosed, the results were late, the attention to the participants was minimal, and communication was poor.
