Rocky Point Tri - Sprint Course - Triathlon

see above. this was not a swim. the day following the race and the day after, the Sea of Cortex was as calm as a lake and no wind.

nothing I could do differently here.

took a little while to settle in, but then got it going. really flew down the back half of the way out. took the u-turn to head back to transition and the wind hit hard. i was so focused on the wind that I forgot to move the the small ring. figured that out and found my groove, really worked hard to try and maintain pace with the other races (at a blistering 13.5 mph). the elites passed me like I was standing still, but I was able to make a few passes myself.

get a sail for the way out?

hardly saw anyone in the first mile, but started to catch a few people in the 2nd. course was a little crowded after that with the 5K and 10K runners going through also. saw my wife at 2.5mi and grabbed her a$$ as I passed going up a hill. made her scream and me laugh. just fcused on trying to keep my pace and looking for other triathletes to try and catch up to.

not much here.

grabbed 2 water bottles and waited for my wife to finish. headed over to the ONE tent and drank a few (or more) beers


the wind


awesome race and the best post-race party ever. tons of beer, live band, and great times. I will do this race again!
