New Jersey State Triathlon - Olympic Course - Triathlon

Non-wetsuit swim. Swim is improving but not fast - my first non-wetsuit 1,500m swim. kept the pace moderate and concentrated on form. Need to pick this up as gave up 4+ minutes to most in my AG which cost positions/podium

long transition area to bike out

new bike course and much smoother and better protected. Liked the new bike route - much shorter than advertised due to a road closure - more like 19 miles

GPS watch did not work so run was entirely on feel, thought my pace was fair, ended up placing 1st in AG in run, a lot of folks impacted by heat and humidity and they ended up walking some. Not a bad run but a minute off last year, would have pushed harder if I new the pace

get the watch to work

went into the misting tent which was much needed - maybe the hottest race day I've had.


This is an excellent race and the new bike course helped. They get tons of volunteers, mostly closed bike course and great competition. Really well run race. Would have liked AG results quicker than an hour or more post finish so we were not waiting around to see who won awards.
