Santa Rosa Island Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

time includes long run up beach where I passed at least 10 people just jogging, don't they know it's a race! :-)

Just can't handle people on top of me. Really like the time trial start we did in Gulf Shores

again passed some people tip toeing in bike shoes, they should put their shoes on their bike
10th in age group in T1

not get stuck in back corner! ha ha

Drank as much as possible to avoid cramps, but got very gassy after drinking lots of sea water so very difficult to feel good drinking

passed at least 100 bikes, got passed by about 10 fast dudes, all on high dollar tri bikes

CRAMPS CRAMPS CRAMPS , darn it. Left calf cramped up and I couldn't pull on my running shoe, what a disaster, it took 30 seconds and lots of yelling, perhaps you heard me. Other wise everything was fine. Couldn't run properly until out of transition area so all the extra time was here in T2

I have no idea, I drank as much as I could without throwing up

obviously this is where I lost some ground, but I was very pleased with this time, since I am not a super fast runner off the bike and my last couple of races were more in the 10 minute/ mile range

nothing, I fealt pretty good

sat on curb and poured water on head


severe calf cramp during T2, breathing during swim


I had a goal of a 5% improvement over my last sprint TRI which took place in June and I met my goal improving from a 1:40 to a 1:35 on the same distances so I am pleased. I also feel pretty good about being in the top 24 percent of finishers after only starting seriously training in March. Can't wait till next season with some time under my belt.
