Race the River Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Gender: 90/207. The swim start was a little odd. People held back, rather than start at the start line, so I was in front of everyone else, which is definitely where I do NOT want to be. Once the horn sounded, everyone started swimming over the top of me, and I had a bit of an anxiety issue. I rolled over on my back for about 15 seconds to catch my breath and regroup, and then the rest of the swim was fine.

I think I need more practice with the mass starts.

The transition area was set up odd. They had the swim in, bike in/out, and run out all at the east end of the transition area, so those of us placed at the west end of transition, had a lot longer distance to run than everyone else. This really added time to my transitions, which are usually very, very fast.

Nothing. I did the best I could with what I had.

Bike went well. It shifts great now that Wes has fixed it. This course has two hills, both of which slowed me down a bit. Rode in aero quite a bit.

I need to get faster and stronger on the hills.

The bike ride was pretty strenuous, so I was a little slow running with my bike.

I need to get stronger on the bike.

I was pretty tired from the hills on the bike, so I wasn't able to run as fast as I would have liked.

I just need to get stronger and faster.

Hit the food tent and cleaned it out, then joined the rest of the TB members and waited for the awards.

This was a good race. Lots of families. A couple of kids' teams placed well, which was cool. Lots of post-race food for everybody. Lots of prizes given out.
