Jacksonville Sprint Triathlon Series #1 - TriathlonSprint

Race started late and tide was going out. So, the bouys were right at the point where the waves were breaking. Got rolled a couple of times and it was so shallow in spots that my arm was hitting bottom during pull.

Just keep swimming

Good transition. New Oakleys helped. The arms are narrower ao aero helemts fits over them easier. Waited longer than usual to get feet into shoes and think that made it easier.

First off let me say that I hate people that knowingly draft for miles. There is always a group of masters men that arre beasts on the bike that hook up and draft a good portion of the race. The 2nd guy in my AG passed me just after the turn around. He was tucked in with them. I was tempted to tuck in but dropped back and let them go.
Second I felt like I was in no man's land during the bike. No one to really pace off of.

Tuck in with the fast guys for a little while.

Struggled a bit getting feet into shoes for some strange reason.

Was all over the place with my pace. Not sure if it was the new course or lack of run/bike bricks. But really couldn't find a good comfortable pace

Push harder sooner

Not running the run course before hand.


Race started late so surf was breaking right on the bout line. Awards cermony was almost an hour later than planned. Other than that this is a really fun course.
