Heart O' Dixie Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Good swim, felt pretty good throughout and tried to push hard.

Get a few more swims in prior.

Spent way too much time in transition, not sure exactly what took me so long, I think I realized about 10 seconds into the transition that I was going to be leaving my goggles there and not getting them back.

Be a little more prepared, just take less time.

Felt pretty good on the bike, had two gels and enough water, wasn't really overheated.

Push a little harder, think I could have given it a little more.

Terrible transition, drop off bag was in a knot and I wasted a good bit of time fooling with the bag prior to just ripping it open. Came out running out of transition and still had a terrible time, losing way too much time in these.

Not tie the bag in a knot for drop off.

A little up and down, started out fast, but got a lot taken out of me in the middle miles from the hills. Had a real good start and a really good last couple of miles. Only 1 person passed me on the run.

Try to run some more hills, its hard to practice on them when you don't have any nearby.

Hung out at the fair, cookies, pizza, and fried foods.


Lack of training on hills.


The race is really cool, but coming into town and not having the light patrolled was really dangerous. Traffic is really heavy on the run too. I did place 3rd in my AG with no duplication and the top two receiving top 10 awards, so that was pretty cool (and unexpected).
