Armco Park Sprint Triathlon - Triathlon

Not sure if I saw the exit/return buoys correctly. I went around, most people seemed to stay inside and take a more direct route to the turns.

There was also a longish run (0.25 mile??) run from the swim exit to the transition area.

Make sure I am certain on the buoys.

couldn't get glasses in back pocket - after fighting with them for a few seconds just ditched and rode without...wanted them later though.

This is a course that it would greatly help to know before hand. Almost went down taking a turn too fast at speed, and was not prepared for some bigger hills toward the mid way point. The first couple miles is uphill and had a decent cross-wind, making the start slow. Good to be patient.

I used just about all my gears - I need to drop 10 - 15 lbs to make the climbs less of an issue.

Need to get quicker!

Think maybe this course was short (and the bike was maybe long). Some pretty fast run splits. Didn't feel like I was running 6:16/mile!

Seem to have a mental block digging deep in all three disciplines. I'm a bit tired today, but think I had a decent amount more to give.


Nice race, had a good grass roots feel to it. Pretty laid back, but really good organization.
