22nd Annual Pohanka Cadillac Colonial Beach Tri - TriathlonOlympic

Water was very warm 79F they allowed wetsuits due to jellyfish but I chose the jellyfish over the heat - good choice, got stung on both arms and both legs but not overheating was worth it. Due to the Jellyfish situation I breathed very badly as I kept raising my head to check what was ahead of me. Current was also strong so you constantly had to sight

Try to calculate entrance point into water better and also anticpate the line.

It was quite a long way to T1 but over rocks and then into a parking lot tarred which was good and clean.

I lost a lot of time putting on my cycling top. I had the advantage of not wearing a suit and should have been faster but I reall struggle with the jersey due to my body being wet, maybe swim with the jersey next time or get a skinsuit.

I was pretty strong on the hills and would take people.

I need to start pulling more.
Take tape for the bike number

Good transition bare minimums, started slowing about one mile out spinning more so legs would not be tired.

wear run number already

Start felt good - settled into rythem by mile one. It was hot which is not really my strenght but I poured water over my head at each water stop which helped. worked it from mile 4 but again fairly limited effort due to heat.

I am bad in the heat but I felt I performed fairly well.

None - I have to start stretching a bit but then it was also a very warm day


Swim - current (but this is the same for everyone)
T1 - bike jersey issue :( (this would have given me at least 2 places better)
Bike - pull and push (hill training)
T2 - wear race number already
Run - heat


Nice race
