Silverman - Half Iron - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Start in front and stay in front. I waited and then had to swim through everyone. Also I need to work on spotting while swimming so my navigation will be better, I went way off course.

Thought it went very well, next time will not use bike shorts and shirt will use the same run epuipment.

Back hurt (between shoulders)last 16 miles, also if your foot hurts check your straps the shoes may be to tight, that caused some severe peroneal tendon pain in transition and 1st few miles on the run.

train harder, Make sure I start with water on the bike. Pay closer attention to nutrition

went well until I had to stand on my right foot, had some bad tendonitis from shoe to tight on bike.

Again should be waering same outfit for run as on bike so I do not have to change my shirt and pants. But really this was my 1st triathlon what do you expect.

Should get into a continuous run sooner. I love the oranges they helped a lot also chewing ice.

I will not stop to try and urinate, it was a waste of about 10 minutes. I had to go but just could not get it out.

love the blankets


I had a blast. It was my first triathlon, so everything was new and exciting. All the competitors were nice and helpful. Special thanks to Dave Flournoy who helped keep me calm before the race. Very nice of him to notice a very scared racer, he took me under his wing and calmed me down and gave great encourgement!
