Marble Falls Triathlon 2013 - Triathlon

I had everything going correctly, even got my watch ready to go, but forgot to push the start button! About 200-250 meters in, I was doing great, then realized "oh no, I forgot to start the watch". So I started the watch and spent probably 100 meters of "Recovering".

not care about the time

I was worried that the path to transition through the same grass where I got stickerburs before the race would be a problem. But strangely I did not get any stickerburs.

run a little faster.

Burnet county had decided to add loose gravel to the shoulders on top of chipseal. Soon as we got to Llano County, it was just chipseal and strangely I was glad.

I don't know how I could have performed any better given road conditions

This run is always brutal mentally, and I didn't see anybody around me that I needed to chase, so I didn't.

hopefully get more sleep the night before so I'm not worn out by the time I get on the run

losing focus during the swim, crappy shoulder surface on about 1/3 of the bike, being too tired to run faster.


I think Mario must have had a group of volunteers not show up, he was distracted and we probably could have used a few more volunteers. Will do it again next year ! hopefully 20 lbs lighter...
