Soma Triathlon - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Felt good on this swim, very pleased with my time...some terrific competition in this race.

Not get ready quite so fast. I was waiting at least 30min to get in the water.

The transition are was very large, so finding my spot was temporally equivalent to a normal full transition. Forgot my towel and had some trouble with the jersey, shoes and gloves. Eventually just tried to be smooth.

Remember the towel

The bike is my weakest event, but I was very pleased this time around. For the distance, I was almost 20min faster than my goal. Plus I had to stop and relieve myself at a portajohn at about halfway...good times.

Don't try to eat a salt pill if the capsule is slightly dissolved...bad idea!

Sorta took my sweet time on this transition to rest a little, but it was worth it. Sat down and tied my shoes and took some gu.

Nothing

Had a great run, all things considered. The run is my strength, but my longest training run had been 11mi. After I warmed up to running, I wanted to go fast, but had to hold back not wanting to burn out. In the end, I think I did most things right and was very happy with the time.

Nothing.

Walked around and ate a ton of pizza.


Terrific race, the best organized I've seen. More than enough volunteers and drink stations. Tons of spectator support.
Race started a little late due to a traffic accident, but that can't be helped.
Post race had tons of food and drink.
