  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 43s / 100 yards
Comments:

water was cold- but not terrible after you get about 150 yards in. I had trouble keeping a line close to the bouys. I seemed to get farther and farther out into the ocean.
What would you do differently?:

stay closer to the bouys!

Comments:

I rented a bike- they gave me the wrong size. It was way too big and never felt great. I was able to outclimb a lot of locals on their tri bikes, but they took me on the down hills! Out and back course.

Warm down:

waited for some family to get done- then went to have lunch, and drink in the hot tub!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bike did not fit

Event comments:

This was a good race- well organized. I would rate this just under Hy-Vee for an oly race.
