Cocoa Beach Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Felt good but time indicated it was not as good a performance as it felt. Tangled with another swimmer for about 1/2 the return leg but generally stayed out of the bait ball.

Train more with speed work.

Folding stool worked out very well. I gotta sit! Lost a few seconds digging stuff out from plastic protection from possible rain. No big deal. No socks. People bunched up at bike mount where there was also a puddle so I ran through puddle past cluster and then mounted.

Nothing

Wind shifted during race so 1/2 headwind, 1/4 tailwind, 1/4 crosswind. Thought I was going faster but conditions were better than expected

Train more.

Decent transition.

Practice

Ran the entire course but at my usual slow pace. No pain. No trouble without socks. Weather clouded up (and drizzled briefly at end of bike) so run was nice and cool.

Train more and try not to get hurt doing it.

Walked around and drank water.


Need to train more in all disciplines.


Race actually started 1/2 hour late due to bad early AM weather creating problems setting up equipment. Race organizers sent out email notification of late start early that AM. Had some sort of timing problem and results were not available until later in the day and final times not until a few days later. Overall a great venue, the weather ended up being very good, and it was fun. Nice live music at the finish.
