Extreme Veteran 344 Maricopa, AZ | Subject: RE: Splash and Dash this Saturday Tempe Towne Lake I doubt you will be allowed to wear a wetsuit. It is a USAT sanctioned race and I believe the rules say that the water has to be less than 80 degrees, and I think it is around 85 right now. I am not 100% sure on this, so don't quote me.  |

Extreme Veteran 487 Arizona | Subject: RE: Splash and Dash this Saturday Tempe Towne Lake Water temp has to be under 78 degrees F, so wetsuits will be a no go this week. And I will be a no go because entry fees don't grow on trees. Word |

Master 2216 | Subject: RE: Splash and Dash this Saturday Tempe Towne Lake As hot as the water is, you wouldn't want to wear a wetsuit. |

Veteran 269 Phoenix | Subject: RE: Splash and Dash this Saturday Tempe Towne Lake I would rather do the ride. Sounds like a good time but like BueHawaii said, my money tree is broken. Or just mad at me... after my double flats on Staurday I have upgraded! So I am sure my tree is upset with me. |

Sorry, I've been pretty busy with school so I didn't see the thread until today.
The SnD was pretty cool. How did you do? |

Extreme Veteran 344 Maricopa, AZ | Subject: RE: Splash and Dash this Saturday Tempe Towne Lake I did okay I guess. The swim was a lot more intense than I thought it would be. I was running into people and being ran into constantly it seemed. I really didn't feel like I could get into a good rythm. I finished the swim in 20:11. I put on my shoes and took about a minute in transition. On the start of the run I started to get a cramp in my calf. I was thinking this could be the end. I tried to run a little easy at first and luckily it never fully cramped. I finished the run in 12:32. My total time on my watch was 33:37. I was hoping for a litte faster, but that was okay. I am glad today wasn't Nathans, because I didn't feel as good as I have been. |

I hear ya, this was my first multisport event and while I had fun and thought I did ok, it could have been better. I got out of the watter in 17:44 and took 1:25 in transition and finished the run in just over 15 minutes and finished in just over 34 minutes. If you were wearing an FCA tri suit I think I saw you pass me, was it was black and yellow? I started the swim in the front and only had to put up with kicking and elbowing for a few minutes. I felt decent on the swim but not great. When I started the run I had a lot of water in my stomach and it took a little while to get going. IDK how to prevent that but it makes me sick (and probably will) that I swallowed so much of that dirty lake water.
I'm excited for Nathan's next week and hope to do better in transition and on the run. This sport definitely takes time to get good at and each race is a new experience. I'm doing the SnD in October just before SOMA so we'll see if I can't improve a little before then. |
