Pre-race routine:

I am not from Utah and I did this race with a friend who is starting to get into triathlon. I knew nothing about Utah before going there. Here is what I know now: 1) I love Utah--people are great, it's beautiful, etc., I would move there in a minute; 2) it is cold at sheeeatt in Utah in the morning, even in the summer.
Event warmup:

My God was it cold. The thermometer in the truck on the way to the race site said 37.

this is the coldest extended swim that I have ever experienced. I wore a neoprene cap to protect my brain.
Transition 1
  • 03m 57s
Comments:

This was just funny. My hands and feet were numb and I tried to put on arm warmers, gloves and socks. Yes, gloves and socks. I was that cold. Anyway, I gave up about 2 minutes and 10 spots just doing that. Oh well.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I couldn't think straight/be held responsible for my transition actions.

Event comments:

This was a great race. It had tons of pros and elites. It is the classiest race that I have ever been to and would do it again in a heartbeat even though it was bone chilling cold.
