HIWAAY Huntsville Sprint Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Time was very slow. In July I raced this same distance in open water in 5:30. Pool was very crowded. After about 200 yards I swam like I was in open water, Ii you were slowing me down I was coming through. Had to swim over and bump people on a couple different times.

Next year it will be more fun. I'll be able to race the bike and run faster and the pool will be less crowded. After the race a guy said he was sorry for hitting my feet repeatedly, but then thanked me for clearing a path.

Long run through transition. Shoes off helmet on and goggles in the back pocket.

Nothing

Cassette lock ring came loose and I used the 53-15 the entire second half of the course. I passed between 20 to 30 people on the bike and three disc wheels and I got passed by one biker.

Double check race wheels.

Quick. Flying dismount, bike racked, and goggles on while sprinting to the pool. Did take time to say hi to Mrs Edwards (a volunteer who works out at our gym).

Nothing

Took it very easy on the run. I dont race w/ a heart rate monitor for short course. I thought I was running around 7:50 to 8:00 miles. Show the fitness I've gained training for IMKY.

Nothing

Walked around, got my t-shirt and waited for the wife and kids to show up. Thanks several of the volunteers.


A Ironman in 2 weeks.


A fellow BTer had an issue w. her split timing. This race dosen't use champion chip timing system, but that is why it cost 13 dollars. I'll do this race again next year.
