Big Foot Triathlon - Olympic Course - Triathlon

Terrible, terrible swim. The water was crystal clear, no chop whatsoever, but I immediately panicked when I got into the water. Also, my sighting was terrible. This is due to not enough open water swim practice.

Get more open water swim practice. Lots more!

This is the worst T1 I have ever had and am ashamed to put my time on here. I forgot EVERYTHING when I set up transition. I forgot to get my gels out of my transition bag, so I had to go digging for those. I forgot to get my socks out of my transition bag, so, another minute digging for those. But worst of all, I couldn't find my bike. I ran to 2 wrong racks when I finally spotted my bike yet another rack away. Horrible!

I need to make sure that I have EVERYTHING set up in transition perfectly before I start my race. I should have had a checklist. Also, I need to make sure I practice finding my rack from the swim in before every race. I hope I never see a 6+ min transition time AGAIN!

Overall an average bike for me. Could have pushed it a little harder, but wanted to save my legs for the run.

Push it more.

Nailed this transition. Everything went smoothly.

Go faster.

Felt great throughout the run. Thought I easily ran 8 minute miles. Was disappointed I was running just under 10 minute miles. Perhaps it's because it was a trail run? Not sure, but definitely could have pushed harder here. The heat was really getting to me. It must have been in the mid 80s.

Run faster.

Walked around a bit with my boyfriend and my dad. Drank a nice refreshing beer from the beer tent.


Insufficient OWS training. Poor transition planning.


I think they could have increased the amount of the port-a-potties outside of transition. Once transition closed there was a good 15 minute wait to use one.
