Chattanooga Waterfront Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Felt comfortable throughout the swim. Probably could have pushed a little harder but a solid swim for me.

Maybe push a bit harder

Could have shaved a few seconds but OK

A little disappointed with my time given my power numbers. Headwind on the return may have been partly responsible. Felt good on the bike and hit planned watts. Right out of T1 I hit a bump and lost the cap on my aerobottle. Accelerade splashed all over me and the bike. Drank a good bit of what was left to keep it from sloshing out on the rest of the ride. Since it was going to be such a hot day I had another water bottle on the frame. AP227/NP236 IF.873

Not take a bath in Accelerade. Made for a sticky ride.

Lost a couple of seconds trying to remember where the run out was. Other than that it was fine.

I knew the run was going to be brutal given the heat. Decided to start slow and try to build into the run. Stopped at first 2 water stations to take in some water and ate a gel mile 2. First 2 miles were around 8 min pace due to the stops. Next 2 miles were 7:20-7:30 pace. Faded a bit from around 4.5-5.25 miles and then ran up the hill (UGH!). Down the stairs and pushed as hard as I could to the finish. Miles 4 to finish were probably around 7:40 pace

Nothing really. Had to adjust pace given the heat. Really faded on the run the prior year so satisfied with this effort.

Sat in the misting tent for a few minutes. Volunteers were great with ice bags. Watched Michael/Experior finish his race with a nice run. Visited, ate, cleaned up transition and hung around for awards


I was ready for the race. Training has been good. Nothing you can do about the heat other than adjust pace and try to manage your race.


My 3rd year doing the race and it is always well done. Lots of great volunteers. Great job by Team Magic.
