SheROX Philadelphia Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Switched to a du because of river conditions.

I stayed in the back of my wave and did 1.5 miles in 16:46, about 11.1 min miles. Tried to take it really easy because I knew I had to run again after the bike.

nothing, felt comfortable the whole way

There was a huge distance between the timing mat and the transition area, so I think this added at least 30 seconds, if not more.

nothing, although it felt like forever getting my bike shoes on!

I knew I would take it easy because I haven't trained very hard this spring and summer.

My first lap was uneventful, although there was a crash and an ambulance was blocking the road on the downhill over the bridge. I felt good and warm at the turn around.

Halfway through second lap, lightning and thunder really started up and I got fairly scared of being struck. Someone coming out on their second loop said they were calling the race, and I really put the pedal down so I could finish up and get off the course. It was torrential rains, I could barely see and the water was getting high on the roads.

nothing, except ride more

Because the race was called, I didn't do T2 or the last run leg.

Run to grab my bike and pack up my sopping wet gear. Who knew a beach towel would weigh like 30 pounds if it were SOAKING WET!

It was a long slow hike in the pouring rain back to my car. I did remember to return my chip and I got a finishers medal, but didn't stop to get food.

It had rained so hard that the water was ankle deep or higher in the grass


Significantly less training than last year. I forgive myself though.


The weather was a huge challenge, but the organizers did their best. Thanks!
