Cranberry Country Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

water was clearer than expected- only a few veggies floating by, started to the back but still had a lot of people criss crossing in front of me - seems like I'd get a rhythm going & would have to shift due to others- overall for me it could have been worse- and can always be a lot better

i just really need to improve my swim

first time i used a one piece suit- felt like I was forgeting something as I left transition!

shoes on bike-

could probably have improved my time a bit- but I was concerned about saving something for the run. Need a 2nd water cage on my bike.

more liquids.

rack was close to entrance-and some wise soul had marked the rack w/ a ballon- coming in from the bike my rt pedal clip was stuck- really had trouble getting rt foot off the bike

fix the shoe thing, carry more water, be a bit more aggressive

as came in on bike felt backs of legs- calves & hamstrings really tight- was really concerned might get cramping issues...tried a gel & few oz water at run start- 1st time used gel- and used the 1st 3 water stops HR was higher than I liked for much of the run-

need to work on hydration/nutrition so it's not hit or miss. Could possibly have gone a bit faster- might have been enough to catch #1 who ran by me @ mile 3 .

those heavenly sponges at the finish! walked around- didn't really stretch & should have


fear of burning out , nutrition/hydration and just needing to get my speed up, learn how hard I can push wothout blowing up


Mass BTers made this a really fun race- and a surprise 2nd in my AG made it a good day also. I love this sport!
Thank you Max, Laura, May, Kathy G.,Joe, Joe, Glen,Amanda and the rest of the BT crew - aren't we lucky to be able to have this much fun & be legal ??!!
