SheROX Philadelphia Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

I easily swam an extra 400 - my internal GPS was way off - I had been sighting well and then must have gotten cocky about it - and after drafting off someone went all the way over to the wrong side of the river. I think the spectators on that side were feeling left out - yeah that's it - my misdirection thrilled them - they yelled wrong way - but of course I did not hear this until I looked up to sight. Really I needed the extra swim distance as Chicago is in 3 weeks and the 1 mile swim is scaring me. Well that is my story and I am sticking to it.

not stray off course!

I was REALLY far from bike in/out still 5th in division for T1

fun bike course - only one who passed me was a pro doing her second loop. some blocking as usual. one woman when I yelled left (she had TONS of room to move over) made some snarky comment to me and then another as I was dismounting.

learn to get out of shoes on bike

this is one of those races where I had to run the entire length of transition with my bike both in and out - it would have been nice to be able to run barefoot - I need to learn to get out of my shoes on the bike....

learn to get out of shoes on bike

had a whole right side cramp - like a side stitch but it was low - first I thought it was wherever my race belt was - so I kept shoving it lower, but then it just settled in - vague pain there today too - might be leftover from thursday's GI bug

run faster

none


being a novice


for a women's only race it is fine - not sure I would do another - missed the boys - no pace booty....
