Beach2Battleship Iron Distance Triathlon - TriathlonFull Ironman

I really need to step up my swim. I always feel fresh out of the water, but I really need to be a swimmer that puts a better effort of being faster. I just don't like it that much. I felt comfortable in the water just slow.

Be a better swimmer.

Wetsuit strippers were great. I did not hide a pair of shoes, but I did wear the Blue Seventy booties which helped alot on the long transition run.

Nothing

I really enjoyed the bike course. This is a course where the trainer really helps because if you stop pedaling you pretty much stop moving. I always feel lucky when I don't flat because I always seem to see a couple and it really does add to the time and anxiety of the race

Train harder!

It got a little congested in the shoot with the half distance folks going a little slow, but the volunteers really kept things moving and did a great job.

Practice dimounting with my shoes on the pedals, so I can perform a faster dismount.

Felt pretty good on the run. As I would get a cramp, I just slowed my pace and was able to carry on without stopping.

More run training.

Got under a space blanket and ate pizza. Then went back to the Hilton for a shower. Went back out and ate again.


Not getting an overtaking penalty. I remeber when it was, but I was technically at fault. Learn for next time.


This is my second time doing this race, and I really like the new course lay out. This is a spectacular race, and I will probably try it again next year.
