  • Comments: First race + First long distance swim in a wetsuit in open water + First triathlon + First Olympic Triathlon of my life! My goal for my first one was under 3h30 and I dit it! I'm happy to see that I'm faster than a lot of people even if it's my first one and I just trained myself a month for it. It was the first time that I swam 1500m withouth stopping and it was hard! The weather was perfect except for the wind on the bike potion. Amazing first race!

  • Comments: It's a beautiful site in a wonderful park, but god damn it, those transitions were horrible and sharing part of the pathway with pedestrians and recreational cyclists on the bike was horrid, and the run also had recreational cyclists and runners. Horrid planning and execution. Yeah, I'll probably go back because it's a wonderful, friendly atmosphere and the bike part is flat as hell, but I will complain a boatload first. Gender Place: 17/41
