Tuckahoe Triathlon and Duathlon - TriathlonSprint

Swim was not as bad as I thought, due to the low/mid tide the water was never more than 4 feet deep or so. Walked occasionally, mostly to get into clear waters. Also not sure of the length since the race documentation was unclear and had conflicting information about the swim length.

I was pretty happy in hindsight to be in the first wave since, due to the shallow water and mucky bottom the later waves were swimming through very dirty water.

Nothing, as this was my first triathlon, I was mostly just trying to get through the swim.

Not a good time at all, the transition area was gravel and sand so my feet got pretty dirty. I brought a basin with water to clean my feet, however it had a leak, thus rendering it useless. Because of this I had to spend extra time cleaning the dirt off my feet.

Leak check the basin next time

Very happy with my bike segment. I didn't get passed much at all ( although that would change on the run ) and I didn't feel as if I was overly taxed during the bike segment.

Nothing

This was fairly quick, I just had to switch shoes and put on a shirt with my race number. The race results don't include any times for this.

This went as well as can be expected, my legs were a little tight coming out of the bike, but loosened up after 1 mile. I think everyone I passed on the bike, passed me back on the run. Also there was one "super guy" who passed me in the last 1/4 mile and said, "This run is really easy". Gee, Thanks

Would have gone harder at the last 1/2 mile, I was too focused on not having to walk any of it.

Ate a little and hung out for the race results.


Experience


Overall the race was a success and I was vary happy with my results. The race itself was not very organized as the check-in process was poorly designed.
