Average Joe - TriathlonSprint

Not even 1/4 of a mile actual distance.
Bouys were set up 5 minutes prior to race time.
Two waves, Men and teams first.

Nothing

Transition was not timed. Transition emptied on to SOFT gravel for about 100 yds. Lost my shoes from the pedals trying to get my bike moving. Sat dowm to put on my shoes and got passed by several riders. Heaven only knows how much time I lost.

Put on shoes prior to exiting transition.

Time included T1, T2 and my #$&@ing shoe problem. Actual pace was over 23.2 assuming I had 30 second transitions. Actual pace was over 23.6 if I had 45 second transitions.

Nothing

I think I need to get faster

Got into the lake to cool off.


Crappy transition. Running performance


This was the most poorly organized tri that I have competed in. Bouys were out just before race time and the course length wasn't even close to the actual distance. The transition area was not ready until at least 45 minutes after advertised opening. The gravel exit from the transition was poorly conceived. Awards were advertized as going to the top three racers in each age group, but only given to the top two.

I had a great race, sans the shoe mishap, but will probably skip this race in the future unless things change significantly.
