Quantico Triathlon - Triathlon

try to break away from pack, I couldn't seem to get away from a large group and found myself getting kicked or providing kicks. The fact you could stand for at least half of the swim actually relieved a lot of anxiety with the swim.

Good T1, no issues. Can always be faster.

Nothing, for the race I thought it was a good transition.

More training, setting a cadence that pushes a little more.

Again, happy with transition.

Nearly entire course was shaded, given the temp, this was a very good thing.

Would have worn different shoes for the trails and rough terrain.

Just moved to VA, rolling hills and inclines are a huge adjustment from coastal NC. Need more time getting used to that on bike and run. Last minute decision to enter race, so very little training and zero swim training the 2 months leading up to the race.


I thought the race was great. Very well marked courses and Transition area. The fact you could stand the entire out portion of the swim course was a little odd and may be a turn off for some serious competitors, but for those of us weekend hacks it was a nice relief. If I was staying in the area for more than a few months I would add this to my annual schedule.
