Giant Acorn Sprint - TriathlonSprint

Got off to a good start on the swim--found some fast feet but quickly lost them as I kept getting bumped from the side...swam well to and around the first turn...settled into a decent swim until the turn back towards the swim finish---was catching the waves in front of me and they all seemed bunched up at the turn and were just stopped...finally got through that and then couldn't see much because I was looking into the sun---had horrible sighting on the last leg of this swim....

Ummm maybe find some time/place to swim (hadn't been in the water at all since mid-Aug.......)

Was pretty happy to be getting out of the water and already have my wetsuit pulled off my arms...then got cap/goggles off...then bike shoes/helmet on and grabbed garmin (just wanted to have the data for after the race) and started to job to the mount line while trying to put the garmin on (took off bike mount so that I could mount PT head there...)

Not bother with the garmin

Pretty good bike split even though it's not reflected in the time/ave mph (the timing mat was during the "run" to the mount line and I was still messing with strapping on my garmin so was moving very slowly---dumb!). Felt good on the bike though once riding---not killing it but pushing when I should have---only got passed twice and they both smoked by!!

Forget the garmin---only wanted for later info but PT had info I really wanted as far as the bike goes anyways!!!

Not too bad of a T2 even though time/rank was bad---was at the far end of the transition area so had to run the whole length with my bike...and put on socks for run---maybe someday I'll stop that for sprints but right now training for B2B is much more important then my T2 split here...

nothing for this race...

Pretty good run despite being overly careful on the woods/trail section of the course. It was definitely a more challenging run then last years FLAT run so a couple seconds faster run split works for me---especially since I've been doing zippy work towards running a fast 5K!!

Ummm not much

Drank few bottles of water and gatorade...


Last year this was my first ever tri so I couldn't pass it up this year even though I'm focusing on going longer this year (have B2B full in ONE month)...I'm really glad I did this race though because the weather seems to work out great and the venue is beautiful....and the stew---yeah I love it!!! And well I really can't complain about my first AG hardware in a tri---2nd in AG---I'll take it!!
