Cranberry Country Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Pond was very filthy and full of plants. One one section during the second half had to stand up and dive back out towards the middle because it was so shallow. Had goggle problems also.

New goggles.

Did the race with my wife and since we couldn't start in the same wave, I waited in the transition area for her

Most of the course was pretty good. A few back roads were in awful shape. Let Amy set the pace. Felt good until mile 18 then legs started to tire some.

Did run with Amy. First 4.5 miles went well and then we slowed down some after that. There were water stops that had water, heed, and gel once per mile which helped out a lot.

For all in intents and purposes the race was run well. Couple of little things here and there were annoying, such as the race starting 15 minutes late because there were not enough people working registration. The only part that was truly annoying is the race director snapping at people. If anyone asked a questions, he would just shout back no. We did registration pickup the day before, and they were 15 minutes late opening that day also and the race director yelled at us to be patient when no one was evening complaining.

Otherwise, I thought the bike and run course (the pond water level was low and kind of gross) were very nice and the race was run well overall.
