Wilmington Athletic Club Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Horrible swim. The lanes were very narrow, I caught up to the guy in front of me after 100 yards, I think he had someone in front of him too, but I could not pass. I breast stroked a 25 just looking for an opening.
Very frustrating swim!!

Not do pool swims, I'd rather take my chances with sharks or jellyfish:)

Uneventfull, long run to T1, rough pavement.

Forget putting on shoes at the end of the pool and just tough it out!

Loved the bike course, lots of turns, great scenery, just fun overall.

Not much, I pushed it as hard as I could.Maybe I would not have ridden the day before, but this was just a race for fun.

Nothing special

Loved this run course, along the lake, the azalea's out, flat. You could keep track of where people were as it was an out and back. This helped me push it because I saw a couple of people as I was headed back and knew that I had to keep up the pace if I had any chance of beating them.

I would have loved to get under 22:00, I had the same run split at Azalea. I need to watch my run splits better. Started to get some tight calves at the end.

Stretched, then went for an easy two mile run to try and get my legs loose.
Awesome catered breakfast, who knew that pancakes and Budweiser went together so well:)


Crappy swim.


Love this race, why it is not as popular as Azalea Fest is beyond me. I think the course is better, much more scenic and safer.
The only downside is the pool, it would seem much better to have people use their 300 time instead of 100. There were people starting in the top 10 that took about 10 minutes to finish, it was ridiculous. It's rude and really takes away from other peoples race.
I managed to place 3rd overall in the Master's category, never done that before!
