Robert J. Aaron Memorial Mighty Montauk Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Started off in the second row and felt pretty good when the horn blew to start the wave. I got behind a few people and was able to draft almost the whole first half of the course. Caught up to some people in the wave before mine. Rounded the bouy without any problems and headed back in. At every race the last two bouys always seem the farthest away. The water was calm and clear and it made for a good swim.

Not much, maybe push a little harder during the swim. I was hoping to complete the swim in 30 minutes or less but I am happy with my time.

Came out of the water and saw my family cheering me on which is always a big plus. Before the race I debated putting my shoes on the bike but having never really practiced I decided against it.

Practice with shoes clipped in.

I haven't trained as much as I should on the bike so I was a little concerned about how I would do. I kept it in the big gear for most of the course and pushed hard figuring whatever happens on the run happens. I feel that I was able to handle the hills and I didn't get passed by as many people as I usually do on the bike, which is my weakest of the three disciplines. The scenery on the course is amazing, I felt greta great heading into transition.

I will write the same thing I have put for every race report. I need to ride more lots more.

This I practiced and it paid off.

Nothing 46th overall

I felt great coming out of transition and just beagn to focus on the people in front of me and picked them off one by one. My friends had told me about the hills. The first two mile I hit at 15 minute and felt good. i saw my family again as they were at our hotel which the run went right passed. At mile 3 you start to head down the hills, I still felt strong and started running with a guy we chatted and it sort of distracted me from the pain. Same for mile 4 into 5. Once I hit mile five and it leveled off, I had alot left in the tank and pulled away. I passed a ton of people on the run and ended strong.

Nothing, this course was tough yet very enjoyable.

Met up with the family had some gatorade and went back to the hotel. We drove out ot th lighthouse with the kids and walked to the top.


I think I performed well onlimited training.


Great race, I have been wanting to do this for a couple of years and I was finally able to do it. The course is beautiful and challenging. I will hopefully be able to do race this one again and again.
