New Jersey Devilman Triathlon - TriathlonOther

Did not work the swim very hard. On the second lap I started to push the pace a little bit. Focused on body rotation and long reach.

Go for it a little more.

Took my time a little too much drying off and making sure I had all the gel etc for the bike ride

Took a very time consuming pee break in the middle of the ride.
My feet hurt the last hour - felt like they were bruising on the outside edge mid food.

Avoid the pee break and try to do it on the run - its probably quicker to do during the run.

Did not run through the transition area. Stopped a moment to chat with John.
Another pee break. Overall a slow transition, but I was trying to mentally prepare for the run.

Start thinking about the transition and what I need to do before I get into the transition area

Aweful. Starting off 1st 3 miles run a mile, walk through transition.
Next 5 miles I would run 1/2 a mile then walk 1/10 mile. Surprised still avg 10:24 with all the walking. Legs did not hurt and I wasn't winded. The wind and sun were draining me. When I did run, my pace was good and was passing a lot of people.

Gut it out and avoid walking any segments.

Lay down in the shade, Gatorade, Hoagie, beer.


Mental & Physical preparation for the long run. Needed some more long training runs to be confident.


Well organized and lots of volunteers. Only drawback was the course itself. Pond was very dirty - like swimming in duck crap. Out & back bike (2 times) and out and back run were somewhat boring.
