Escape the Cape Triathlon - Triathlon

I survived is best way to put it. First swim in ocean, very happy I made it through, dozens did not make it because of conditions.

Swim more with arms, less legs. Do not warm up then freeze for an hour waiting for start. Warm up in line.

I may wait to take wet suite off until at my bike. Bucket of water to clean feet.

The swim and cold adversly effected my performance on bike. I was much slower than normal and did not ever feel strong.

Eating was major issue, I boinked. I will have peanut butter and banana handy next time.

Position of bike from enterence drove up time, maybe run bike in.

change socks

Hardest run I can ever remember nothing worked physically. The eating, not enough fluids and swim exhauston killed me. Worst time by 3 minutes I have had on 5 k in 6 months.

everything I did built to poor run. I will train differently, longer runs, more bricks, strength legs and core.

Some conditions, too nervous, not eating well pre and during race.


Great race, enjoyable time.
