Pre-race routine:

First time using new Tri bag and it was fantastic. A great way to carry all of the gear I needed. Did some stretching and mentally prepared for the race. Almost forgot to attach my timing chip. Went all the way to the pool to start and then luckily realized it was missing. That was the only real hiccup.

Comments:

Really Short Swim, but was really comfortable. Only used Garmin Time for swim, after pool you needed to run through the school hallways which was a little slick.
Transition 1
  • 02m 39s
Comments:

Good Transition for me, first time I have done T1 without putting on socks. Took a little extra time to dry off since it was a little chilly out. Probably did not need to, but better safe than sorry.

I had some trouble in T2 putting on socks and shoes. Ended up needing to sit down, was afraid I was going to cramp.

Need more practice putting socks and shoes on.

Always my weakest leg, I was just glad to finish. With my back and leg bothering me, and almost no run training I was happy with this.

Event comments:

Overall this was a fun little race and a good warm up to the year. I wanted to use this race to motivate me to train more and I do think it has helped light the fire.
