Walt Disney World Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Good swim. Not too much traffic. Since I started in the 2nd to last wave I got to pass a lot of people. That was a change for me. 10th in my age group!!

Nothing.

Long run from beach to bikes. I felt great coming out of the water and ran comfortably to the transition. Usually I am very slow coming out. Transition took some time due to putting on hr monitor and Garmin. Made the mistake of putting my gel flask in my shirt first. When I got on the bike I realized my gel didn't make it with me.

Put gel in my shirt last.

This is the first time I used the hr monitor. I tried to keep my pace down and in zone 3. It was hard at first but once I settled into a comfortable pace I kept it in the upper range and went into 4 when passing. My average speed was close to 20, even with all the turns. This was the smart way to ride and not go all out.



Skip this race.

I would have pushed harder if I knew the course was short. Great ride though, averaging over 20 mph which was one of my season goals.



This was the worst bike course I've been on. The directors should be ashamed of the way they set it up. Too dangerous.

Good transition. Went sockless for the first time. No problems.

Nothing.

Started out okay. Didn't see any mile markers. Only 3 aid stations that I can remember. I tried to keep hr down but couldn't due to the heat.

Skip this race!!!!!!!!!!!

None. Race ended in the hot parking lot. Not much of a post race event. Bagels, orange slices and bananas. Got on the bus to the transition area.


Don't know, maybe the heat, maybe I wasn't ready for this race.


Terribly organized event from the package pick up at the Contemporary, to the bike drop off at Fort Wilderness, the short distances, lack of water stations, crappy post race, etc, etc, etc. Don't ever do this race. I spent several hours between the packet pick up and dropping my bike off at the transition area. There is no parking at the event sites so everyone is bussed.
