I had asthma during this....grr and my right calf cramped at the start of it. And no one to draft off because I was in the water so early. Also, there was like a 200m run to and from the swim course. Good news is the water was warm!

Do another race

This is the bike to swim Transition...I don't have a time for that. I dropped off my bike at the transition, grabbed my goggles and cap...put on goggles, and when I tried to put on cap, my head was too sweaty for it to stay on my head... swim cap then shoots 6 feet in the air, and I repeat, and was ultimately successful

The start was interesting, we ran to the bikes, and went! I was able to do a flying mount and dismount. I got to watch a ton of people stop at the mount zone and try to clip in.
I think only a couple people passed me on this one. yay! I always have to do a much better job on the bike to make up for ITBS on the run

spin down sooner. I have yet to master that so that i don't cramp for the run, or swim!

This is the Swim to run transition. This is where I got "lost in transition" I could not, for the life of me find the run exit after the swim. I eventually found it

not do this race

If you look at my last races, I have been struggling with ITBS, This is as fast as I can run without it hurting.

...not have ITBS

ITBS...Transition confusion


The order of the race was changed due to the renaissance fair happening at the same park. They wanted us off the bikes ASAP so that traffic would not interfere with us, or vice versa. If i had known this was going to be like this, I would not have registered for the race. Also, the bike course was waaaay shorter than the advertised 20k.
