Virginia Triathlon Series - Race #3 Kinetic Half - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

water was very cold, slops at the start help keep your feet warm while standing on the cold sand.

It was a good swim in the cold conditions. I certainly recommend getting your body used to the water before the race.

My usual struggle with the wetsuit is a real pain in the a..

practice taking thee wetsuit off or spraying something on my ankles to get more lubrication.

Something was wrong with my speedometer which kept me guessing my speed, missed one water bottle pass off as I was going to fast and I dropped the bottle.

Train on more hills as usual.

I came 6th overall and 1st in my age group for T2, wish they would give medals for this.

Transition was excellent I felt very comfortable, the first 6 miles were ok. It was wamr but I used water at each station to cool down. Then I ran past the turn around, through the finish line and everybody thought I had finished. I got all stressed out and ran back up to the turn around. They did adjust my time which was nice of them.

Pay more attention to signs.

Stretches and lots of nutrition, I also headed straight for the cold lake and stood in there for at least 10 minutes.


The run was tough especially the second loop but I think part of this was due to the fact that I was stressed because I missed the turn around.


Greg really does and excellent job! He organized the neoprene caps and sold them at cost. A solid outfit!
