The water was so turbulent and i had a backstroke/breastroke cruiser in my lane so it felt alot like a like swim rather than a pool. my visibility was about 4 feet.

I didn't push hard enough. I should have had at least one more length in.

i had trouble setting the spin bike (my first time ever using one)

i would not use my clip in cycling shoes on the spin bike

I didn't know how to set the bike up. it was hard to get the basket clips off so i could use me bike shoes

I would set the bike one click higher than J and maybe move the handle bars up. i would start with the seat back one further than 3. set tension a pinch higher - no bouncing

I would just use the basket clips with my running shoes

i change shoes, socks, shorts and shirt and peed.

i arrived at the run with 20 secs to spare but they did not have a treadmill available. A woman from the previous wave was allowed to continue into my time causing me to start 14 seconds late.

i would just use the same out and not change

I should have gotten up to speed faster. It was 30 secs befor I was up to a 7 minute mile and another minute before I was at 6 min pace. even so - I was dying before it was over.

coming with the same outfit on will resolve start issues. i would get up to speed faster

none - i will pay for this i am sure


completely new to spin cycling, not using treadmills to train


I like the fact the race is available. It is nice to have opportunities to do winter tris in OH. I don't like using a spin bike. it would make more sense to use a fitness cycle. It was pretty crummy that I was not able to start my run on time. Overall it was good for training not so great for a race.
