Tri Indy - TriathlonOlympic

great swim I really enjoyed this style, we entered the water every :4. I had plenty of space to pass and draft off other swimmers. I seem to be passing many people which keep me going. I stayed strong the whole way and navigated very well. The water was clean and cool. Goal was 26-28
GOAL REACHED.

nothing one of my better swims stayed in control and tried to stay relaxed

not a good T1 I really need to work on this, Garmin messed me up, I need to keep it simple and get in and out.

Couldn't find my garmin that I use on the bike, I need to forget about the garmin and put my bike computer back on the bike and call it a day. I need to put the helmet on, glass, shoes and get out

Bike was rough as advertised, you really had to keep focus on the road and at times very hard to stay aero. No one passed me on the bike, I didn't have any speed indicator on my bike so I had no idea how fast I was going, but I was comfortable the whole time. rode about 90% and felt great. Only problems, people drafting, riding out in the left lane for no reason. You could tell there were a lot of beginners out there. On the second lap I got into a mix of sprint BOP's on mt. bikes. GOAL 1:01-1:03

not a whole lot maybe take it up a little bit, but it was hard with the road conditions and hundreds of people on the course. When I was taking my bike back to the car the back wheel was rubbing the brake. I felt like I had a flat around mile8 but could see anything, I think all the jarring must have moved my wheel a little.

Once again bad, was fairly fast with the shoes, but I pulled the garmin out of my back pocket and just could not get it on my wrist while running.

forget the garmin or use the quick release.

this is where I made my big mistake. I ran for the first time with my nike lunarracer's without socks. By mile 1 I felt rubbing, by mile 2 the pain was bad. It felt like a razor was cutting me with every step. At one point I even thought about running barefoot. I maintained 7:30's since that hurt but was tolerable anything faster hurt way too bad. This suck, because I really felt good, my legs felt good and I was breathing fine. GOAL 42-44 Missed goal

don't make a rookie error of wearing shoes without socks for the first time in a race.

none ran straight into the med tent, with the bloody shoes and massive lasserations on both arch's


rough roads and poor plaining with shoes and bike computer I did reach my goal of 2:20 so I can't complain too much


I really like this race, I will be back next year. The roads were rough, but that was about it. I like the course for all 3 events, even though I was in a lot of pain, I really had a lot of fun.
