Castaway - TriathlonSprint

I don't think that this was a true 2/3 mile swim. It looked and seemed much shorter, especially considering my 100 yd pace. Regardless, this was an excellent swim for me. I felt like I could have kept going around for ever.

Nothing

Again, that stinking wetsuit did not want to come off. I also started to exit the wrong way (DUH).

I may need to try another suit$$$

I took the first three hills easy upon warnings from others and I am glad I did.

Nothing

Forgot to take the forms out of my flats (DUH). Shoes went on fast after that.

Set up better

I think that I went out a bit too fast but I couldn't tell because I forgot my watch. I guess forgetting my watch didn't matter much because the distances were not marked in any way.

Train for longer distances. Run this race as a 5 mile not a 5K.

Walked around and BSed with a few other racers.


Lack of training for a longer run.


Race would have ranked better if the cost would have been more reasonable. I came in with a very bad attitude. I signed up simply because this was a bonus race on the series worth an extra 125 points for me. I signed up late and felt suckered in.

Upon later evaluation this race has a lot going for it. The transition area was lush grass that washed the sand off my feet. The course was challenging, but not grueling. Post race activities were the best of all the races that I have done this year. There were showers available.

I do not know whether I will schedule this race in next year or not, but I am leaning toward entering.
