Thunder Bay Triathlon - Short Course - Triathlon

First Tri experience was good but cold water really hurt performace

Would have tried to acclimate to cold water sooner

due to cold water hands and feet were numb nothing to sit on in transition made it hard to get gear off and on ... wet feet made socks very difficult

mat for transition and need foot wear that doesn't require socks

gear selection was poor and bike had numerous shift problems but overall experience was good

try to anticipate correct gear selection better and work hills better

wetsuit got tossed because I left it on rack need to stow wetsuit better out of T1

organize a place for wetsuit in transition after i take it off

run was good but did not push hard enough

risk more and run a bit harder

Walking


It was cold weather but I focused too much on complete and did not push harder for better time. I had more I could have risked


Great spot for a first tri and well organized and friendly
