Danskin Women's Triathlon - Seattle - TriathlonSprint

This was a cluster. They sent us off in race number not age groups, so there was carnage all over the course. My wave caught up to people from at least three previous waves.

BUT, thanks to Triathlynne, I was actually putting my face in the water and swimming...it was slower dur to having to navigate around bodies ALL OVER THE PLACE!

PUSH my way to the front before the start. I was trying and couldn't get there.

Um, this was good...except for the fact that I was in BFE. I was so far from the entrance of transition and bike exit.

My chain fell off! This was kind of congested due to so many people on the course. I had to stop off and fix my bike and lost a lot of momentum.

RIDE MORE HILLS. Gear change better so as not to make my chain fall off. Drink more.

There was so much junk around the transition area that I struggled getting in.

Man, I cannot run anymore and certainly not after biking! I was just so hot and couldn't push my pace.

This race was well organized but it was just too crowded for me. I was really uncomfortable in the water hearing people completely panicking all around me. It caters to so many real newbies that it was frustrating at times. I was excited though because it was my best swim performance and best bike time so far!
