Smithfield Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Started fast, maybe a little too fast. By the 3rd land I had to open turn. In the 4th lane I got passed by the guy who started behind me. Drafted him well, then on his next flip turn my thumb got caught in the back of his unzipped trisuit.

Nothing

Transition was a muddy mess and it was raining hard. Took a little more time because bike shoes were under my towel.

Had some strong headwinds on the way out. Got stuck behind a care that needed to pass some cyclist, but had oncoming traffic Lots of standing water on the course and it rained pretty hard the entire time. Some serious tailwind on the way back in.

Nothing

Good flying dismount, but transition was even worse, so had to carry my bike. All my run gear was in a plastic bag, so it took me some time and I sat down to get shoes on so I could keep my feet clean.

Nothing.

Started out tip toeing through the mud. Once I got out onto the road, got into my groove and felt okay. Wasn't really paying attention to the watch/pace. Butt felt tight, but didn't really keep me from running hard. Was able to pick it up a little each mile, so clearly need to do more bricks.

Nothing

Ran over to watch Ashlee finish her swim and head out on the bike. Then over to watch Elisha and Becky finish their races.


Rain, mud, bad off-season.


Plenty of volunteers despite the rain.Wish they'd have water at mile 1 & 2 vs. just at the turn around.
