 Swim
Comments: Getting to the first bouy was rough. After that I found a good pair of feet and let him do the rest of the work. What would you do differently?: Get up with lead guy  Transition 1
Comments: My race belt unsnaped as I was running out and when I reached for it I droped my bike and lost most of the fluid out of my Aero-bottle and two guys passed me. What would you do differently?: Not drop my bike  Bike
Comments: Once I recovered in T1 I hammered out mad as hell and caught the two guys who passed me in Transition. Got in a good groove and just went with it. What would you do differently?: try to catch the leaders with a little more passion Transition 2
Comments: uneventfull, went smooth. What would you do differently?: not much  Run
Comments: I know I wasn't that fast compared to lots of other guys, but for me this was an amazing run. The big thing for me was NO ONE passed me. I always get passed on the run, and this time I held them all off! What would you do differently?: Not a Thing Post race
Warm down: Walked down to the lake for a quick swim and changed. What limited your ability to perform faster: Transition skills. Event comments: I say post race activities bad because it looked like a storm was comming so everyone left right away. This was my first AG win and I didn't even get a award.

| 9 | Subject: RE: Rockman sprint triathlon Glad you enjoyed yourself and had a good race. We had some big plans for after the race but the weather as you know was pending. We did have the DJ there all day and the check in for the half race started at noon. Heather Haviland, Blake Becker, Zach Ruble, Rich Armstrong, Brian Stover and a few other folks were in the park and there was a planned Pro QA (not shocking, the reporter who wanted to film it for the news did not arrive). We also had the swim beach open all day and food vendors...but, all for not due to weather. The Sunday crew had it much worse off. As for awards. That is a tough one for a sprint race IMO. We had many things at our event that had high costs and will continue to have high costs. When I race I much prefer communication and atmosphere than a trinket. We pay quite a sum for the DJ who doubles as a PA system. Also, not many sprints out there with ChampionChip timing in this region. Most costly for the sprint is the Ambulance on site ($1400) and the police coverage at the park exit and at the highway. While I would love to have giant medals, trophies, technical shirts, and cash prizes - I prefer to spend the money on police, voulenteers, ambulance service, and entertainment at the park for the spectators. I do not at all discount the fact that spectators are very important to every race - an nothing is worse for them to sit there for over an hour with nothing going on....it was so funny, at Rockman Sprint some of them were dancing (as well as some of the participants during the transition setup). I hope you come out to play next year. I hope to make the event bigger and better. |

Member 37 | Subject: RE: Rockman sprint triathlon Great job on Rockman. Is it me or were the distances of on this course (particularly the run). The run had me running sub 7 minute miles and I have NEVER run faster than 7:15. I'm positive it was off. Also, was your finishing time off on the results page? I crossed at 1:08:53 and it shows me at 1:09:19 and I had no penalties. |
