Rocketchix Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I need a smaller tri top...too much drag in the water from the loose top. The good news is that the top was tighter when I bought it! :-)

Didn't know which way to turn at the bike mount! I had to ask a volunteer because nobody was telling people where to go!

Decent bike, but I wish I had chased down the girl who passed me at the end!

Didn't get a time...chip must've malfunctioned or something. I couldn't figure out where to go to start the run, either! A spectator had to tell me "I think the other girls went that way" and point in the general direction. There weren't really many volunteers on the run course yet, but I guess that's because I was in one of the earlier swim waves and people were still so spread out.

Figure out which way I'm supposed to be going!

Great run pace for me. I ran down the girl in front of me and passed her at the aid station.

Drank water, walked around, talked to friends who were volunteering.


Good stuff in the race packets, nice shirts and finisher hats, and great-smelling food (although I didn't get to eat any because we were going out to lunch). They did great with such an unexpectedly large turnout at this race. My friend told me that she considers "beginner" as the first year of racing so I guess I won't be back at this race next year unless I'm volunteering. It was fun, though, and great to see so many first time triathletes giving it a try!
