YMCA Colonial Beach International Triathlon - Triathlon

The Swim course was changed the morning of because of high tide at 0727 - which was just half hour after the race started - so the long leg on the swim was against the tide - which made it slow and hard; my googles were all foggy and had a hard time sighting

get a couple of practice OWS in; new googles before next race

Decent run/jog from the transition area to the bike mount location;

Had issues getting my left food into the clip - not sure what was going on there, never really had that issue before; my ride time was right in line with what it had been during my training rides, so i'm not going to complain too much - need to work on increasing speed

nothing really - maybe train at a slightly higher cadence

I was done by the time I hit this transition - I def. screwed up my nutrition plan somewhere along the line; grabbed a protein drink and guzzled some of that before heading out on the run

my run was more of a walk/jog - by the time I hit the run my foot was bugging me and so I took it easy - probably could have jogged more than I did. My second half was better than the first half - more consistent in speed/pace - more jogging as well - had a fellow competitor run with me the last mile to finish together - which really helped

probably get some more bricks in before a race

walking and stretching


PF in left foot caused some issues on the run; middle toes on my feet went numb on the bike (need to get this checked out - not sure if a saddle issue or something else)


Like most Set-Up events I have raced/volunteered at - very well organized and run
