Disco Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

6:48 pace : 3:17 at the turn

No reason to blow it out here.
Even if somebody beats me by 30 seconds....that is nothing. I can make that up with good transitions or riding 0.20 mph faster on the bike.

I should have blown it out on the first mile and made up that 30 seconds.

....Because I lost an age group trophy by 21 seconds.

Mother F*&^%()%

Moral to this Story: Every second counts

56 seconds

get there earlier for better rack placement

21.5 mph - pretty happy with that

got a little nauseous on my powerade at 1/2 strength
--- or maybe it was the Cheetos ......tee hee hee

may go back to Krispy Kremes

I dunno.

00:54 seconds

not sure how to make it faster

may try to come out of shoes before dismount

7:39 pace -----gotta do better than that

need to run more shorter and faster in training
got to get my speed back

lose 10 more lbs......

none

watermelon and water


I should have eaten 2 bags of Cheetos.


Although this ended up being a good race for me, I have some issues with this race.

We should have been given the option to transfer into another race that this group puts on. I understand they already spent the money for trophys and DJ, etc. Those services should have rescheduling options negotiated into their contracts and the trophys & t-shirts could be stored until the next race day.

I would never pay $95 to enter a duathlon or drive 50 miles for a race that won't even count toward a ranking. I even waited until later to make sure the race was still "on"; therefore, I paid a premium for waiting and still go screwed.

500 participants time $70 avg = $35,000
Don't tell me they would have "lost" money by rescheduling. Perhaps they may not have made as "much", but still it would be a profitable event.

It is just bad business in my opinion. I'm still not happy about it.

Race Packet: No Power Bar, No Clif Shots -- only a tacky little hat & T-Shirt........and a bunch of advertisements.

2 porti-poddies for 500 athletes in the transition area???
Who did the math on that ????
You can't "Blame it on the Rain". They knew how many people were coming.

$5 spectator fee ???? What ???
