Jamestown International Triathlon - Duathlon

Just tried to run a comfortably hard pace. Did not want to go all out.

Nothing

No issues here. Got my stuff on pretty quick and was out to the dismount line.

nothing

Felt great on the bike. No real issues. Well other than the guy that kept blocking me. It took me a good 3 miles get around him. I ended up having to do it on a corner. He was determined to ride on the left side and not let me over to pass.

Nothing

Since it was so hot and muggy out. My plan was not to PR the run, but to run for place. Once I knew that no one in my age group was ahead of me, I ran the pace I needed in order to keep the first place. I would only speed up when I though a female in my age group was approaching, which never happened.

Nothing. I have had a bad experience in the heat a couple years ago, ending up in the ambulance after a hot run in south fl. So I am pretty happy with the fact that I was able to keep a fast pace in the heat, but also play it a little on the safe side and not hammer it.

Lot so water poured over my head and some ice down the top to cool me down quick.


The heat. Played it on the safe side due to how hot and muggy it was.


I like the venue, but the weather dealt us a bum hand. I really wanted the swim to happen, but with the lightning still going on, I think the right decision was made. I do think if the race continues to put the sprint and the International on the same course, they need to work on the turn arounds and such for the two. There were a couple of close calls that should not have happened. The top guys being taken the wrong way by the motorcycle was not cool, and how it was subsequently handled was not cool either.
