Soma Quarterman Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

This was one of my worst swims in a event. The event staff did a poor job of getting all of the swimmers in the water. We had to go down a set of stairs to get to the water. The wave starts were 4 minutes apart with a 100 yard swim to get to the start line. I only a 10 second once I got to the start line before the horn sounded. My Wife said that there were still swimmers trying to get into the water.

?? Not to sure.

Good overall T1.

I had to stop in T2 to take a piss. I had to go almost since the start of the bike. This cost me some time in T2. I think that I would have lost more time on the run if I hadn’t stopped in T2.

I felt better this year going into the run than I did last year. I only walked thought two aid stations to get water. Total time lost was only a few second per aid station.

Found my family and got in line for a stretch talked about the overall race and what we need to do for the next one.


One of the things that I will not do next year is stay at the host hotel that they listed. We stayed at the Hyatt and they would not do anything to help out the racers. They would not open early for breakfast or offer late check outs. This added some stress to the race having to think about these items.
