Escape the Cape - TriathlonSprint

Didn't want to start out to fast. Did not want to hurt my legs for the swim.

not sure

had to pick my bike up, as it had fallen over in the wind. also had to take my pants off and then put my shoes on. Very congested getting out of T1.

nothing I could have done differently.

Wet roads, and gusty winds made for a tough bike. Got out to a fast start, but kept getting passed by people. Was averaging about 24 mph at this point so they were really flying.

Slowed way down at the turnaround, and couldn't get my speed back up. Averaged 17 for the race. Conditions didn't impede my performance. I definetly need to work on my bike this summer.

not sure. Just couldn't seem to dig deeper to get that extra speed. Maybe it was the mile run before the bike, which I'm not usually used to.

Wanted to take my shoes off and pedal, but conditions were way too bad for that. Severe right hand turn before transition so, this could have been bad. had to pick the persons bike out of my bike spot as it had fallen over in the wind.

taken shoes off pedals to run past people who were stopping and congesting the bike in. could have maneuvered better.

had a really good run. felt very strong, and only got passed by a few people. Had a tough second climb, but went up slow and tried to control my breathing.

Was really able to pick up the pace at the end and pass a whole group of people.

Took a cup of water at the aid station and took two sips of water without slowing down to a walk.

probably my best run during an event.

take my jacket off at transition. i slowed down twice, once to take it off, and the other to tie it around my waste. Although this probably only cost me between 30 seconds to a minute.

walked around, and looked for my wife and kid. No stretching,

didn't stick around for awards or food. Huge food line, and it was raining. So we went to Dave's Dinner for breakfast.


Need to get stronger on the bike. Don't know if it's mental or what. maybe doing some saturday group rides will help.


max did another great job, especially considering the conditions. Disapointed it was changed to a duathlon, as after du-ing one, defintly prefer tris. But they had our safety in mind, and that is very appreciative.

they had a challenging day, and did very well in my mind.

I didn't stick around for the post-race activities as it was raining and i was cold and hungry.
