Sacramento International Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Navigation was horrible on the up river portion, I zig zagged my way up river, this caused my slower then anticipated time.

My watch time for swim: 31:52

Swim straighter.

Decided not to use the wet suit. Jersey got stuck when I was putting it on, had to take it off and start over, this caused some delays.

Just after leaving transition another athlete passed me,as I glanced down to check my bike computer I heard a crack. I looked up in time to see him run into the guard rail next to the course, get thrown from his bike, do a flip mid air, and land hard.

I stopped and he thought he had dislocated his shoulder, among other injuries. Luckily we were just passed an intersection and were able to get a park ranger and a spectator that happened to be a medic on scene quickly.

After I was assured that he was being taken care of, I continued on my race. I had never seen anyone cash that hard, it took a bit to get my mind back on riding. At the end of the lap, an ambulance was there taking him off. Hopefully he's alright, not a good way to end a race.

Overall I was really happy with my performance on the bike, I felt strong though out the entire bike portion. My computer listed the course at 23.00 miles, so a bit short. Based on that I almost made a 19 mph average, 18.9, I'll take it.

My watch time: 1:14:00

Nothing

Forgot to hit my watch timer at the start of transition, a minute is an estimate, my watch had 14.5 seconds. It was fast for my, but not that fast.

nothing, this was a good fast transition.

Ran most of the run, walked the transitions and one other time on the way back. Overall good run, I was really happy with it.

Out: 27:14
Back: 27:44

A bit slower on the way back, but not by much.

nothing

TBF puts on some good races, this one wasn't an exception. I've done Golden State Sprint at the same location, it worked great for the longer olympic distance. Had a great time, I would do this one again.
