Comments:

The swimming leg wasn't much of a swim. The water was barely waist deep for much of the course, so must people spent half the "swim" running through the water. I tried to swim as much as I could, but found it easier to give in and join the runners at times.
Transition 1
  • 04m 22s
Comments:

This was my first tri, so I wanted just wanted to figure out the process in my first transition... I wasn't too worried about speed and that certainly showed in my time.
What would you do differently?:

Get better organized in transition and definitely practice getting out of my wetsuit.

Comments:

I felt strong on the bike. My hamstrings were in a lot of pain the first couple of miles from being so cold and wet, but once they warmed up, I felt great. Took first place on the bike in the clydesdale division
Transition 2
  • 02m 10s
Comments:

Better than T1, but still needs some work
What would you do differently?:

Get more organized. Remember where my damn rack spot is.

Comments:

Took about a mile to get the feeling back in my toes from the cold bike ride, but I felt fast and fresh otherwise. Took 1st on the run in clydesdale division

Event comments:

I've only done running races in the past, so I don't have a lot to compare this race to. Overall, I had a lot of fun and I think it is a probably a great tri for beginners. My only complaint would be that the swim really isn't much of a swim. If you are looking for true open water race experience, this isn't the place to find it, however a beginner could use it as a good stepping stone toward open water racing.

I was thrilled to win the clydesdale division, however I may not have fared so well if the race had included a legitimate swim.
