 Swim
Comments: This was a reverse tri. The swim was at the end.  Transition 1
Comments: T1 was from run to bike. Almost forgot my helmet. No problem finding my bike. There were only a few left. ;)  Bike
Comments: I pushed my bike up the two big hills. What would you do differently?: Train more. Transition 2
Comments: I knocked over three bikes when I racked mine. I did not even touch them. Just the little shaking of the rack when I placed my bike knocked the others over. Luckily a friend was right there and she fixed them for me. This transition was bike to swim. What would you do differently?: not knock over the bikes.  Run
Comments: I am not sure I like the reverse tri setup. The run, for me, seems to be the hardest. When I was running I kept thinking I want to go home. I am more invested in the race when the run is last. Also, I do not feel bad about wanting to walk. But goodness I cannot walk if it the first of the three legs! What would you do differently?: Run more! Post race
Warm down: Wrap up in my towel and kept warm. Event comments: I have to say, I may have sounded negative in some of my above comments, But I finished the race. I was not last, there were several people behind me. I still feel great about doing races even if I am a BOPer. I may never be a MOPer. But at least I am a triathlete. There are so many people out there that can not say that. I passed two women on their morning walk. I heard from the peanut gallery "She looks like she is having a GREAT time" in the most sarcastic tone they could muster. All I wanted to do was comment back. I did not. I was good. They cannot say they are a triathlete! Last updated: 2008-02-19 12:00 AM

Royal(PITA) 14270  West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: San Vicente Reverse Triathlon Great job finishing. I've never done a reverse tri but have heard of them. Not sure how I'd feel with a swim at the end 9too tired to swim or is it relaxing after the run and ride?) Edited by zipp1 2008-03-08 7:53 PM |

| Los Angeles, CA | Subject: RE: San Vicente Reverse Triathlon Good race! I did the Pasadena reverse tri today, my third reverse in a row, and I have yet to do a traditional race order. The thing that kills me is running hard, biking hard, and then having to swim at the end. I completely bonked today, side-stroking my way to the finish, but it felt good to be that depleted. And you are right, you're the triathlete! |
