Old Colony YMCA Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Veered off course a little heading toward first big buoy and nearly swam into a small buoy heading back to beach second time (was sighting off arch by that point) but otherwise good swim. Actually liked the double loop, as it made things seem more manageable.

Sight better.

Probably could have gone a little faster -- sat down to take suit off. For once, didn't get shirt stuck putting it on. Took the time to eat a Gu before I left transition. Running over wood chips and through mud in bike shoes also slowed things down.

Figure out how to take wetsuit off my heels faster. Save first Gu for bike.

Kept at a pretty good pace -- didn't push it too hard since this was a C or D or whatever race, and I wanted to have something left for the run. According to my bike computer, I averaged 16.9, not whatever it says up there. Dropped my chain once, and Kate B. passed me, and I never caught back up. Also stopped for half a second when the help truck was convinced my rear water bottle holder was coming off (it wasn't).



Not drop my chain. Tighten screws on water bottle cage.

Probably could've done a little better job shifting. I couldn't decide in some spots whether to be in big or middle ring.

Quick transition. Even remembered to take off bike gloves. Took time to have a sip of Gatorade. Stopped in bathroom, since there were no porta-potties on course. (I think that technically counted as part of my run.)

Not pee.

Very muggy, so tried to focus on keeping heart rate down on hills. Walked very briefly at water stops. Kept a pretty even pace and heart rate.

Probably could have pushed it a little harder early on.

Grabbed water bottle, found Scot, went to food tent.


Muggy weather slowed run slightly. Dropped chain took a little time and reduced my confidence shifting. Also, training the day before meant I didn't have as much energy in reserve.


Good race, but run distance was way off.
