St Anthony's Triathlon - Triathlon

Decision not to wear the wetsuit was a good one. Water felt very warm and I would have been hot. Water was so calm - best conditions I've ever seen at this race.

Maybe start a little more toward the front

mount line was crowded and I had trouble getting started because there were slower people in front of me. Otherwise a nice easy fast transition

mount more toward front

I was very happy with my pace but I probably could have pushed it a little more. The last mile was crowded with people doing the sprint who wouldn't let you pass so that slowed me down a bit

practice more turning to become more confident

again, crowded entering the transition area and I got stuck between two people who were chatting. Did good with focusing just on getting my shoes on and leaving the hat and number belt for when I was actually running.

this is the only stage in which I was slower than in previous years (although only by 3 seconds). Maybe zip laces. But otherwise good

not sure why my pace got so much slower. I did slow down for water several times . There was not a lot of shade on the course so I was getting hot.

Not sure - probably start training to do negative splits

walk around


Age and genetics :) I felt great after this race and was happy with how I had trained.


Love this race! So organized and fun. They may need to alter the sprint a little to keep them from merging with the olympic participants on the bike - it got very crowded toward the end. Great volunteers, too, especially at the finish!
