Morse Park Summer Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

For crappy swimmers like me, the change in distance without notice was not good. I went out much faster than I would have if I would have known it was a 750. The cold water (water temps are >80 where I live) messed my breathing up early, but was nice after the first 50 or so.

Still turning left near the end badly. I think my left arm must be getting tired near the end and not pulling hard enough.

Not much I could have done differently. Keep swimming more.

Had a little problem standing up to get my shoes on, but not bad.

Nothing.

My performance was good, but I ran into a couple of guys that wouldn't pick a pace. They kept leapfrogging with me and the 2nd place female. She really had a hard time getting away from them (she was competing, none of us guys were). Thankfully, we didn't get penalties, but it was really frustrating to have people pass then not keep the pace. I finally found a little hill and attacked until they didn't keep up.

Also, the police stopped a line of cars at an intersection and one car parked on the shoulder, bringing 3-4 of us to a complete stop.

Attack earlier, once they wouldn't hold pace.

Great T2

Good run, not great. Started slowing down at about the 1.5 mile turnaround, and got passed. Used the passer as a rabbit for about 1/2 mile then passed him back and kept increasing lead.

Not much

OWS technique, stopped cars on course


Course distances changed with no notice(750 swim instead of 600, 13 mile bike instead of 14), stopped cars on the course, no sign at the last bike turn (ended up in a parking lot), promised post-race food was gone, and NO final time posted due to a computer error. Definitely not the best run tri.
