Azalea Sprint Triathlon - Triathlon

Good swim for me. Had registered at a 1:36 pace, and caught two swimmers.
I tried some flip turns on the laps where we changed lanes. First time in a race

Use more flip turns on the lane changes.

Overall a good T1 for me. It was a long run from pool into TZ were my bike was on the far side. Pushed pretty hard, and passed 1 person at least in TZ, no one passed me

nothing

Resisted going too hard. I have killed my run doing that in the past. Front brake kept shifting into wheel requiring some adjustment.

Tried to avoid a speed bump and almost whipped out! I would have hit a mailbox.

Got passed by 7 riders I think, and passed 1

nothing pretty happy with this bike at this point in the year

Had trouble racking fork first and had to turn the bike around.
Not sure why I sat down to put shoes on. Could have shaved 19 seconds off

Test racking before race. Slide shoes on while standing.

This confirms my suspicion that two years ago the course was short.

Ran negative which I very rarely do. Need to push a little harder

Overall pretty happy with this run

walked around and cheered on other runners


only me


Second time running this race. Really nicely done. A couple of snags with timing, and the entrances collapsing (inflatables) , but the volunteers were great, and there was a good turnout. Water heading out of TZ, at the one and two mile points (out and back). I ran thru there may have been gator-aide or similar

Pizza, bananas, water and soda at the finish. I didn't wait around for the awards.
Race Swag included shirt (better than the one two years ago), winter had, and mouse pad.
