Rumpus in Bumpass International - TriathlonOlympic

Felt constrained wet suit. Found it difficult to get into a groove. Believe I may need to work on breathing and overall technique/form.

Better sighting - seemed to zig zag off course a lot

Had difficulty clipping into pedals. (Speed play)

Buy a singlet - had to put on shirt and zip up. Have confidence in preparation and trust that I had what I needed. Seem to hesitate before I grab bike and go

...learning that you can 'red-line' olympic distance races. Held back for fear of finishing run. Turned out to have more in the tank...

1 gear harder at same cadence

Unable to dismount and run ahead due to bottleneck at transition, but overall fairly strong transition for me

just try to do it all faster

Felt good. Course was bad and was worried about turning an ankle. Held back knowing that I am training for longer races this year

Studied race web-site more and worn a pair of trail shoes. (Venue changed a few days prior to race; so it was a bit of a surprise)

Poor swim and bad running surface conditions


Good race, but the coordinators had a 'curve-ball' thrown their way with the local marina. Had to change venues with little notice. Only thing that suffered was the run course. Swim course did seem longer than 1500 - curious if others would say the same.
