Destin Triathlon at Seascape - Triathlon

The course was parallel to the shore with 1 buoy towards the end that you turned right at and went back to the shore. There was a pretty strong current the whole way which make it feel like I was going much faster than I was. Signting was slightly difficult cause we were swimming right into the sun. I couldn't see the buoy until it was about 40 yds in front of me. Overall it was a really nice swim. I did the usual 100-200 yd sprint and held a quick pace the whole time.

Nothing.

This was my first time trying out a flying mount in a race and everything went well. I think it saved me about 30 seconds. I'll definitely stick with it from now on.

The course was a out and back with a small loop thrown in. It wasn't too bad but a little crowded on the 2nd loop. I pretty much stayed to the left and just passed a ton of people. The course was completely flat and fast.

This was almost my first flying dismount into T2 and I had no problems.

The course was an out and back and was extremely flat. I started out pretty quick then settled into a steady pace and picked it back up with around 1/2 mile to the finish. I felt good throughout the whole thing. The race description says 3 miles but my GPS watch said I only ran 2.6.

Drank some water and gatorade. Ate some red beans and rice after about 45 minutes.


I felt really good about this whole race. I don't think I could have gone much faster.


Overall it was a nice race. I'm kinda bummed they had to change the race location this year but hopefully next year it will be back in it's usual spot.

I had a problem with someone in my age group and his bike split (he would have averaged 28 mph but actually only did 1 loop). I email the RD but nothing got changed cause I noticed it a few days after the race. I officially placed 4th but the RD agreed with me that I was actually 3rd.
