FAU triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Ideal conditions with smooth, clear and warm water. The swim was south to north and I noticed, from previous waves, swimmers were drifting to the south going into the turn. I started on the north side of the pack and had clean water the entire swim. I did start running into swimmers from the previous wave and had to go well inside to avoid them. If I were age group racing, my time would have placed me first in the group.

Nothing. I felt I did the best I could and am happy with my performance.

I had major trouble getting wetsuit off of ankles. I've only swam in this suit twice and I may need to cut back the legs.

Break in wetsuit!!

Third ride and first race on my new Blue Triad SP. Increased my pace from my road bike by 2mph. All in all, very happy with my ride and know my speed will improve as I get used to the bike. If I were age group racing, my time would have placed me second in my group.

Nothing.

My 12 year old did the run and he had trouble getting the velcro timing chip strap to attach. Slowed our T2 time.

I would attach the strap to my son rather than have him do it. He was pretty amped up.

Great setting for a race! My only negative comment is that they really cheaped out on the awards by only awarding first place, especially given it was the 20th anniversary of the race. C'mon people...with what you charge for the registration you can certainly go 3 deep on the awards!!
