Texas State Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Perfect T1. Feeling great at this point.

Road was slick from precipitation although it never rained. Tires were overinflated for race conditions and I took teh 2nd turn too fast. Bike slid out from underneath me and I crashed. Got back on and slipped up some hills. Volunteers were standing right on turn. Nobody further up to tell us to slow down.

Fill tires to 100 psi when road is wet. Know the course ahead of time.

I rocked my T2

First hill came .5 mi into the race and it was a killer. Rolling hills after that. Race info instructed us to stay on the grass and off the street past the stadium, but race leaders ignored this. No course officials on run.

Happy with my run considering the hills. Hip started to hurt from the crash.

1 mile run


Wet road conditions for bike. Was first race on my new Felt B16 TT bike and I was bummed that I crashed.


Course was awesome! Swimming in the springs was fantastic and the run course kept my interest. Bike would have been better if I hadn't crashed early. Organization could have been better. Very few people knew what side of bouys they had to swim to. After my bike crash I remarked to the student volunteers (that were all chatting together at the turn) that someone should come up before the turn to let people know it was coming. All I got was a smart remark. Transition area was unsecure, which was a little disoncerting and post race was pretty tame. Can't complain about the price although I would pay much more for better organization.
