RunBiTri Triathlon - Allen - TriathlonSprint

Reverse triathlon format - muscles were tired and fatigued and swimming was just the thing-I-have-to-do-to-finish type of thing.

Form didn't seem all that bad. However, stroke tempo and pull effort were pretty weak.

Time was disappointing, but I think mosts others' times were as well.

Stradddled bike before pushing off. Bending over to assist first foot into shoe, I had a bit of a balance issue, but was able to do it.

Put left foot into shoe and then shove off and deal with the right one once going.

Overall, not bad for the first time with these tri shoes and leaving them on the bike.

Bike course is flat and fast, but the strong winds made for a tough time on the bike.

Had to take off a helmet, sunglasses, windbreaker, gloves, dryfit shirt, running tights, and socks. Then I had to place my goggles on.

Good run, no issues, kept hr at 178-180ish.

--This race had the least number of signs/markings etc that I've ever had in a triathlon
--No mile markers on the run (not that I saw anyways)
--Run water station was self serve - never had that before
--Swim format was confusing
--For $60, I was expecting lots of race packet goodies, but it was bare
--For $60, and a bare race packet bag, I was expecting a feast, but it was meager to inadequate. There was practically NOTHING to drink but water. No one was attempting to remix accelerade or gatoraide.
