Soma Quarterman Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Bad start, I have not used wet suit since last year. I have put on close to 20 pounds, mostly upper body, since I got the suit last year. I felt like it was choking and restricting my breathing. Calmed down the 2nd half but by then lost to much time. Also for some reason my calfs were cramping on swim..weird.

Get to front of line to try to get into water early and adjust suit...oh yea, practice in wet suit!!

Tried to have shoe clipped into bike...big mistake, with calfs still cramping I couldnt do this and to dismount bike outside of transition and put on shoes...dumb!!

Set up transition better, put on shoes and run like hell!

Tried to take it easy on bike because the way my legs cramped up last week during Longleaf Tri. I was hoping higher cadence and not pushing so hard would help. I think it did but bike time did suffer a bit.

Put shoes on in transition area, duh and maybe push a little harder.

This included a stop to the porta-potty!

Learn to hold my bladder!!!

Much better than last week. Not much shin cramping until mile 2-3 and foot numbness didnt start until then either. Only walked a little bit at a few water stations.

Run more.

Jumped on slip and slide then had to walk around in wet clothes for an hour.

I felt I had to do this race to prove something to myself after poor performance last week. I could of done better but overall feel good about this one.
