Emmett's "Most Excellent" Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

good swim water was nice and smooth was crowded even with the wave start but overall i was very happy with the swim. i was kicked a couple of times but this being my first tri i have been told be plenty of people that this is bound to happen.

start more to the front of the pack had to pass people and it was not easy so i swam quite a ways out of the way to get around

There were several people who were not intentionally blocking the transition exit which made it difficult to have to weave around them. but otherwise it was a fairly good transition. i also was not use to having the timing chip on my ankle which made it a little more difficult to take of my wet suit.

have a little towel to wipe my feet off with

chain fell off about 150 yds. from t2 AHHH! a little frustrating but a very quick fix then back on the bike. Also i must have bumped the magnet on my wheel on the way to Emmett which meant no computer during the race. Which is ok i guess i just wanted to know what my speed was.

make sure my bike computer is working before the race.

run was good a lot slower than i expected but this being my first race i was very pleased with my overall results

drink more before the run. train more for the run.

this was my first race and overall i really liked it. my goal time was 1:10-1:15. i got 1:12 so i am very pleased i am looking forward to doing this race again next year!
