 Swim
Comments: First time swimming in a trisuit.  Transition 1
Comments: No wetsuit...no socks...no gloves...still not great. 3rd AG/38th OA  Bike
Comments: Rode newly overhauled 2013 CAAD 10, no aerobars. Transition 2
Comments: Hampered by left hamstring injury. 1st AG/64th OA  Run
Comments: Almost dropped out due to hamstring injury at 0.25 mi, but carried on. Blew up with 0.25 left to go, but I held it together to finish. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Pulled left hamstring 36 hours before race. Almost didn't show up. Event comments: Long-running race series down to just this one race this year (used to be three in spring, one in fall). This sprint distance option is a terrific tri for first-timers. I had my first age group win at this race in 2007...also finishing the run injured (broken wrist in bike fall then, blown-up hamstring this time). Last updated: 2025-08-12 12:00 AM

Last minute decision to attend after blowing up left hamstring on run 36 hours before race. Decided to ride Cannondale CAAD 10--newly overhauled--without aerobars. First time riding in a tri without them in probably 18 years.
