Mooseman Triathlon Festival - International Distance - TriathlonOlympic

Wading start.I started in the back. I could not get out of the "washing machine" Sighting was'nt great due to the fog and people were swimming all over the place. By the last third of the race I was able to get into a regular stroke and break from the pack.

Start on the front of the pack

I had set up transition with a jersey and my nutrition in the pockets. but decided it was warm enough to go without. Took some time to transfer nutrition. There were alot of people leaving transition at the same time, they were walking, and I couldn't get around them.

The wether was so variable that I dont know that I could have made a decision about my jersey until the start of the bike. Perhaps having two set ups to choose from

Nothing

Felt good going into this transition. It was starting to get warm and the sun was out.

Nothing

My goal was not to walk on the run. I kept a good steady pace. Ran much of the race with someone from Team in Training, she was struggling with cramps in her calf and had to stop several times but caught up with me. It was nice to have someone to run with. I poured water over my head at every aid station.I had to make a "pit stop" at the half way point, I was just getting too uncomfortable. Tough to get a wet tri suit off quickly!!! Got back on the course and into my pace. Tough run along the beach prior to the finish.

Nothing

Walked around for about ten minutes. My right leg was sore but not too bad.


I was really hungry after the race. The lines were really long to get food. Decided to pack up and go get food.
