Tri the Parks-Richard B. Russell - TriathlonOlympic

Got on the wrong set of feet, but then after ~100m was able to get on the lead swimmer's feet. Stayed there until about the half way point and then moved right to pass him. At that point, I was in about knee deep water close to an island, and was able to stand and do about 4 dolphin dives. Sweet! Was able to get about a 15m gap on the lead swimmer in my wave, and kept that margin the rest of the way. First in wave out of the water, and caught the majority of the first wave that started 3 minutes ahead. Swim was probably 100m longer than 1000m, based on time.

Not much.

Glasses were fogged up and so I had a bit of a rough time getting clipped in. Otherwise, good transition.

Not put glasses on until up to speed on bike.1

Good bike. This was my fastest average speed in a race this season, despite technical, hilly course.

Not much, maybe push a little harder on the hills?

Struggled for a few seconds getting crap out of my jersey pocket, otherwise good transition. Forgot gel that I was going to bring on the run.

Bring gel, leave crap in pockets.

Great run. Negative split and felt really, really strong. First ever tri 10K under 50 minutes (and that's going back to 1993!).

Go harder! Had too much left!

Ran a couple of easy miles, swam a little.


Carrying too much weight!


No results available at race due to rain and computer issues. Results should be posted later today (dying to know how I placed. Should have had Gatorade on the run course (a two + hour race demands more than water). Could have had a bottle exchange on the bike course. Woohoo! 1st in my last ever Clydesdale race!
