Kring & Chung Newport Beach Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Sighting was horrible. Goggles fogged up about 2 minutes into the swim, couldn't see anything. Plus it was foggy and overcast out and nothing of note as far as landmarks to use to sight. Had to stop a few times and bring my head completely out of the water to sight. Swam up on the wave ahead of me and got kicked in the face a few times :P

Not use these goggles again. Even treated they fog quickly.

When I finished the swim and got into T1 I almost ran by my bike because someone had moved all my stuff off the end of the rack and about 2-3 bikes in. This was a horrible T1 for me as I had to find all my things and get my stuff back in order. Other than that, I was out of the wetsuit fast and had my shoes and socks on quickly. Also running out of T1 the Garmin popped off the quick release on the bike, I think when my things were moved the asshole may have knocked it loose.

Nothing, if not for the jerk moving my things I think I would have had a very quick T1

Lost my elbow pad on my aero bars on the first lap.

Nothing, maybe work on handling so I don't have to slow down so much around corners

Long transition area but overall did well.

The uphill portion kicked my butt. Overall though a good pace for me.

More hill work

Walked around, got my stuff gathered from T1 and rinsed off with a hose near the swim exit.


Someone moving my things in T1 caused a lot of havoc and made me lose focus.



With the goody bags being kinda meh, (a Gatorade, sample wheaties, and shot bloks) you'd think they'd have some good post race stuff. No medals or anything though. Just a shirt.
