Texas Man - TriathlonSprint

Got stuck between a couple women at the start, but did not have any difficulties after that. I need to work on racing the swim more and not just swimming.

There were wetsuit strippers which was a first for me. That was fun.
My pedal turned upside down before I got my foot on my shoe. I had to stop and restart to get going, so the start of the ride was not good.
Should have thought to put my toe warmers back on my shoes. My feet were numb from being cold until 2 miles into the run.

Practice getting into shoes more.

I did not replace my laces with yankz and tying my shoes with shaky, cold fingers was more time consuming than I expected.

I felt sluggish at the start and my feet were numb, but it turned out to be a pretty decent run for me.

lack of training. I was pretty happy with my performance overall so I can't really complain.


I thought the race was pretty good overall. It was better than I expected. The venue was really nice and great for the kids to come and watch b/c there were open areas to run around and the beach was awesome. There was also a playground, but it was flooded. Since it's a pretty small race, there weren't too many people all over either. I thought the course was pretty nice as well. The lake seemed pretty clean, the bike was hilly, but not too hilly and the roads were smooth and traffic free for the most part. The run was pretty shaded as well. For a local race, that's not too far away, I'd give it an A. If we weren't going out of town, I'd be back for Disco in July.
