Amica 19.7 Boston - TriathlonSprint

Lots of contact early on, with people pulling, kicking, swimming across my line. After hitting far buoy started to clear out a bit more. Felt more tired than expected, maybe need to practice some higher effort swims with the wetsuit.

Practice more with wetsuit and go a better job sighting to get out of traffic. Maybe also start outside or wait a few more seconds before getting into the pack.

Nothing significant to report. Put bike supplies in helmet on aerobars as seen from others, need to figure out if this is the best idea for future races.

Figure out transition setup before race.

Legs felt tired most of the ride, need to see if the wetsuit is causing more fatigue on the swim than desired. Only got passed by a few people, but the race was small, and this is still the largest area that needs improvement. Happy with breaking 20 mph for the first time.

Need more training on the bike.

Had paper still in the toe of my shoe from when attempting to dry them after a run in the downpour. Other than that, transition was decent, but could pick up a little time here.

Dont leave things in my shoes

Calves very tired coming off of the bike, partly I believe due to an incorrect bike fit for the new aero position. Not passed by anyone on the run and picked up a few spots, I think 3.

More bike/run transitions and adjust bike fit.

Stretching while waiting for everyone else to finish. Ate a bagel and some water.


Need more training on the bike. Also need to check the bike fit for bike effort and leg fatigue for the run. Also believe the wetsuit may have negatively impacted my effort in the swim.


Movement of race venue within weeks of the race was extremely unwelcome and inconvenient. Expecting more from a race series that has put on numerous races over the past 2 years. Not a great course with little of interest to see and no changes in scenery. Nice amenities like color wicking shirt, medals and imprinted caps.
