What would you do differently?: Not wear the loose fitting technical shirt I had on. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Still have not mastered jumping on the bike and really need to work on this. I have the "Look" style cleats and these are really slippery when trying to click in. It really has to be better to have the shoes already clicked in and struggle a bit to get your foot in while moving that what I did this time. What would you do differently?: Practice mounting and dis-mounting with the shoes already clicked into the pedals. ![]() Bike
Comments: Overall rank on the bike was 159 out of 229. What would you do differently?: Make sure to use your pre-race checklist and especially make sure to PUT THE TIRE PUMP IN THE GEAR BAG! About 1 mile into the bike leg I realized I'd left the tire pump home and was racing on half flat tires. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Relay race with my daughter ... she grabbed the timing chip and was off to the races :) ![]() Run
What would you do differently?: This was my youngest daughters FIRST participation with a Tri. She had a ball and really enjoyed teaming up with me in the race. She's 23 years old and was amazed at the athletes out there, twice her age, who blew by her. ![]() Post race
Event comments: The one negative for me was the free food afterwards was a Taco Bell truck. I'm trying not to appear unappreciative here, but come'on TACO BELL - really! There were snacks such as bananas, peanut butter, etc but you could literally smell the grease in the air from the TB truck. Last updated: 2011-06-27 12:00 AM
