AcworthSprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

The wade start was so slow it took a while to even get in the water let alone start to swim. My group was 112 women so it was really crowded. I stayed in the middle because my sighting is usually not good. Got kicked by the breaststrokers a lot (&^%$#*). People stopped to wade out while water was still waist high so that cost time as well.

Stay further to the outside - i think i lost more time in the shuffle that i would have swimming off course again.

Great bike - first time on the new tri bike. I felt really good - once i get more comfortable on the Kuota I will be flying for real.

Nothing really. This is a tough bike because it is so crowded and the girls stay up to four deep so it is really hard to pass.

If that was 3.1 I will eat something unpleasant...Cramped on the first mile - a little disappointed the tri bike didn't help my legs more. All I can say is I did NOT run a 12 minute last 1.1 mile. I put the course into mapmyrun and it came out to 3.45 i would love to know if anyone had a garmin on them.

Running is my challenge in life but I felt really great and strong so no complaints really.

Hung out with the girls and had a Sales blitz "massage" at the PT Solutions tent :-) a bit aggressive those guys!!


I have to say the logistics of this race is a definite minus. I am not sure I will do it again - it is especially hard for spectators with small children. The atmosphere amongst the girls though is just so great.
