K-Town Triathlon - Long Course - Triathlon

This is plus T1
Lake Ontario was a bit choppy this am. The biggest problem I had was after the turn around. There were lovely buoys until then and then none!!! There was a breakwall you could sort of follow and people were so spread out i couldn't tell exactly where the best place to be was :(

Know the swim course better. I assumed because I have done the short course a zillion times that it is similar but nope...a lot different

I ripped my wetsuit in the seam :( :( :(

Meh. I never can say I have a spectacular bike. It was a good ride for me. My bike computer said my ave speed was 30.2 which is interesting

Nothing! If I went harder on the bike it ruin my above average running abilities

Took about 8 mins as there was NO ROOM for my bike on the rack. I had to shove things around and even go to the other side of the rack to get my saddle on. That plus a pit stop made an abysmal transition.

The fact that there was no room left was not my fault. Everyone else should be more respectful of space. The spots are labeled so there was no excuse for racking in my spot

That time included the abysmal T2 so I would take 7 to 8 mins off that time. I had a good run as always. First half I had bleccch feeling legs but it wasn't slowing me down a lot. Then after the turn around it was magic and my run legs kicked in. Passed 3 of my peeps who where quite a bit ahead of me on the bike

Nothing. The run is my "thing"

Bad swim navigating and abysmal T2 due to bad behaviour of others racking bikes in my spot.


KTown is always the best race. Sadly it will be taken over by new owners next year so this was the last of the classic race. It was 30 years this way. Sad for Kingston :( I am glad I could do the last one. EVERYONE was there...so fun for the KTown tri community
