Wilmington YMCA Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

First 200yds (or so) of the swim was tough - caught a couple of face/mouth fulls of water. Finally got to lee side of the island and caught a really nice current. While I did not stay with my age group pack, it was a much better swim than I anticipated. Still need to work more on my swim, really could move my self up in the pack with a better swim

Swim Stronger, Swim Faster!

Would have been much faster here if I had not taken the time to put my socks on...but my feet were just soooooo damn cold. Next year (and there will definitely be a next year) if it is this cold, I will have toe warms on the bike shoes before I start!

Toe warmers/covers already on bike shoes.
Have tri shoes and learn the flying mount/dismount from Eric and/or Tommy!

Drank too much salt water on the swim, had a hard time drinking on the bike! Still did not go hard enough since I list race pace as comfortable!

Go harder, keep a avg pace of 20mph

Not much I could have done better other than a flying dismount...really cooked through t2. Did I mention that Transition was HUGE!!!!

Flying dismount next year!
Better marking of my/our rack!

Loved it...having my boys and parents at about mile 2 to cheer me on was great.

Nothing...well, if I could throw down a 6min/mile for 3miles...that would be better...

Talking, drinking coffee, 1 mile+ ride home


ME.


LOVE THIS RACE!!! Loved writing my race report on the third story deck watching the moon rise (and finishing it up there while everyone caught an afternoon nap...man I could adapt to the beach life!)
