Lake Pflugerville Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

can't really comment much on ranking etc since "ALL SPORTS" used some kind of new (we could tell this because the equipment was pristine, not gnarly with lake water/stretched, etc,) timing system that was TOTALLY hosed. I normally don't wear a watch, but I'm glad I did just for a general guildeline. I wanted to finish under 2 hours and the only way to keep tabs was wearing my watch.

I don't know what I would have done differently to prepare for wind gusts up to 30mph. You just put on the big girl pants and deal.

again, no idea what the transition time was due to epic fail of ALL SPORTS timing....

nothing.

I wouldn't ride any differently but if I had known the timing company wasn't up to the challenge I might have been more precise in my cyclometer reading

T2 time included a scramble up the dry, dirt, rutted side of the dam so I walked up there so as not to turn an ankle or knee. Timing mat was at the top of the hill

nothing

keeping cool! in 100 degree weather! ha! but I was acclimated.

not sure there was any improvement to be made given the wind, heat and placement of aid stations

This is the first time I'm raced this particular 5th anniversary event -- I've enjoyed being a volunteer the prior 4 years but thought it might be good to race where I've been training. Nobody was prepared for the horrible windy conditions that early in the morning and I think about 25 or so bailed during the swim.
