Kerr Lake Olympic Distance Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

I was pleased with my effort. got to start with just 1 min before wave went and was still zipping up wet suit. forgot to really eyeball the bouys so I had a difficult time navigating until i rounded the first buoy.

be more prepared at race start--but I wavered btwn aquabike and the full race until the last possible second

had a terrible time getting suit off and had to sit down in transition area. It was a long transition from the lake and all up hill but I felt fine and jogged at a good pace

I didn't use any spray because I forgot to bring it

rode conservatively for the first 10 miles and by mile 12 really pushed it hard til the end. Increased my pace from 15.5 to 17.5 by the end. I wasnt sure how hilly it was so i didn't want to start to hard

didn't have fast ties

wanted closer to a 13min pace but just couldn't walk any faster--not a factor of fatigue

got my stuff and left


not as tough a ride as Duke 1/2 or Pinehurst Olympic but challenging for the beginning of the season.
