Federal Escape - TriathlonOlympic

With the small exception of the race being turned upside down the water wasnt bad.

I would not save as much for the end, since it was my first Oly I wasnt sure how much it would take out of me and took it really easy during the swim.

Transition was good, took a little longer because my jersey would go on correctly.

Have extra towel to dry off better with

Back at home on the bike, so much more comfortable that the water. Great race with a good pace, I was only passed by 3 bikes that were uber aero.(Cervelo P3, Lightspeed Blade, QR Lucero). I quess I just like to bike.

Try and consume more liquid and finish a complete gel before finishing

Good transition time here.

Maybe take a little longer on a long drink, and have shoes off before I hit transition

Ok on the run used up a little too much energy on the bike but that was ok.

Need to work on bricks more often

Stop moving. Very little stretching went in search of water.


Inexperience at the Olympic distance.


First year, there was a glitch at the beginning with sprinters having to go out first in order to keep everyone from swimming over eachother. Small mix up in the 2 waves of male olympic with the second wave not gettinig thier 5 min. taken off. The water at the end of the race was gone, but they made up for it by filling extra water bottles. Great atmospher especially for a first year event! Can't wait til next year.
