Outer Banks Half Triathlon - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

choppy swim I started to far left as I thought the current would pull me more

start on a better line to first bouy

could have been a minute or 2 faster but wanted to be calm going into bike

maybe jog a little instead of walking into transaction

I went hard on the bike because I wanted 18 mile avg which acording to my garmin I got though I somehow went an extra half mile.
One serious problem was a heat spot under my left foot hurt like hell the last 10 miles of the bike...new shoes are due

eat and drink more...I will pay for this on the run

good transaction

I totally bonked the run, a combo of surfing all week and not enough nutrition fluid on the bike had me in a slowing down run/walk the last 10 miles of this race....very dissapointing run as I figured to be 30 minutes faster and this was supposed to be my strongest leg...oh well live and learn...close to 90 degree's didn't help but not 30 minutes worth of slowness.

taper better,rest more pre-race, and better nutrition and fluid on the bike

almost passed out from whatever this is typical because I give it all I got unfortunetly I didn't have much to give.


week of surfing,not enough rest, not enough fluid, and hydration, key lime pie you name it...oh lets include me being a wuss also. I am still pissed about this run.


I liked the race, course was fun a few to many turnarounds on the bike, but that's my only complaint, volunteers were great but could have used a little more training I had people offering me all kind of drinks not what I asked for , but there enthusiasm was great and they were mostly very young so no complaining. Nice Booty bag, setups is getting so cheap FS blows them away in this aspect. I think FS is trying harder on the races they put on.
