Capital of Texas Triathlon - Olympic Distance - TriathlonOlympic

Per other race reports, i felt pretty good getting out of the water about my performance. While on the bike I figure out my time was more than a 2 min / 100m pace, which I didn't understand. An extra 300 meters on the course made my time make sense. No rubbing at first, but a lot after we turned around and starting heading back. A lot of swimmers from the other waves were clogging things up.

Nothing

still slow...need to work on it

be a little faster with taking suit off/putting shoes on

A lot a folks on the course. I was constantly screaming "on your left !" and annoyed at the folks that thought they are too good to have say "on your left". I found the crowd to make the course a little more exciting

Be faster on the hills

got a little better this time

Once again, the heat gets to me and I fall apart on the run. Felt good until about mile 3 and then I started slipping. BLST is going to interesting....

Be more conditioned for the heat

Sat under the Team In Training tent and cooled down. Ate some PB&J sandwiches and drank a coke. Cool towels were a nice touch. Enjoyed post race meal at Pok-e-jo's !


Lack of heat conditioning


How do you blow the swim course by 300 meters and the run by almost a half mile ? I am glad it was admitted, instead of all of us saying the course seemed long. Anyways....I don't understand the 8:30 start time for the largest/faster group on a 4 loop course and I certainly didn't like the heat.
