Annapolis Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

first time wearing a wetsuit, and had to "pack up" stuff to go to T2

drink more on bike - overall this was a great ride, i had ridden the course 5 or 6 times and managed to ride significantly faster than any of my training rides. So, while I ultimately wish I could ride faster, I realize this was a great ride for me

needs to be faster

Felt great until mile 4 when I got a severe leg cramp, walked through next water stop, drank two cups of gatorade and was able to finish strong. This is a slow run time for me but it was hot and the leg cramp really threw me off.

Drink more on bike to prepare for run. not stop and walk no matter how bad it hurts.

First year, race obviously needs a little work. The run course was a mess, but the swim and bike were perfect. Overall this is a wonderful race that can only get better. There wasn't really any post race refreshment - water, gatorade, bagels...that was a bummer also. It was my first Olympic distance race, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I had fun and it was challenging.
