Lobsterman Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Really messed up on the navigation of the second leg...just kept fading to the right...didn't panic though, and came in with a good time.

This was my fastest T1 ever, so there isn't a ton I would do differently. I had my socks folded and I had to sit to take teh wet suit off and put socks/shoes on

Did what I had wanted to do in terms of speed. I had wanted to be at an 18mph pace and I beat it slightly. This was designed to allow me to get off the bike and run 8:30 miles...I would like to improve my bike strength so that I can ride at 18.5 or 19.5 and run with confidence of not cramping up

This was one of my faster transitions so not a lot I would do differently. I think the lace locks help and having my hat etc all laid out helps. Less is more. One thing to remember is that I had almost nothing in my transition area....bike shoes, running shoes, hat on running shoes and a water bottle...forgot salt pills and gu which should have been next to my running shoes. I guess I would also like it if I could figure out how to get my Garmin watch on for swim and it not freak out....I had to put it on coming out of the run.

Did ok on the run...basically adhered to my race plan so feel good. Would like to slowly ramp up my run time off the bike. I wasn't in pain running at about the pace I wanted to go. I did promise myself that I would make the last mile hurt, and I didn't really do that, but overall I was happy with it.

Mentally weak


Good race...events on time...good volunteers...beautiful setting...overall a good race. I've done it three years in a row and am planning to do it again in 2013.
