Rev3 Knoxville - Olympic Rev - Triathlon

Seemed a little fast to be believable, there must have been current or a short course (or everyone was so cold they went way faster to get out). It felt like a 21-22 minute pace to me.

Long run to T1, very cold and feet hurt. Had trouble mounting due to being cold and shaky.

Have flip-flops for run from water to T1 (about .3 mile).

Rainy and slow, and I think the rain affected my components somehow (Dura Ace), I have never had this issue before or after the race but my front derailleur wouldn't go into the small chainring about half the time, and of course that was on the biggest climbs and I was stuck fighting up the hill in the big ring.

Wear my toe covers and gloves for warmth and rain protection. It was miserable and not fun at all.

My fingers were numb and I couldn't make them unclick my helmet. I literally spent at least :45, maybe even a full minute just messing with the stupid thing, I almost gave up and ran with the helmet. Also numb feet hurt again running barefoot through transition.

Wear gloves and toe covers on cold and rainy days.

Pushed hard, set a new 10K PR by almost 2 minutes (from my best open time)!

Nothing.

None


Cold


The rain is the only downer, Rev3 does it right.
