Nice water. Easy swim. I felt very good. I'm just slow. LOL
What would you do differently?:

learn to swim faster. lol

  • 04m 9s
Comments:

Full body wetsuits are not worth it unless it's REALLY cold water.
What would you do differently?:

Buy a short wetsuit if it's really needed. That won't happen too often here though. Don't bother putting watch on if it's not on already. Again, short cleeve wetsuit would have helped here.

I cna't remember where the timing mat was, but I think it was up by the run in. So my times may have been a bit faster. I don't recall swimming this slow. Even in the 25m pool I swim faster than this.
Suit: full wetsuit - rental
Course: Aquarena Springs. Very clear water. 72 degrees. It was a tiny bit murkey and weedy today because of the people swimming.

Performance:
Wind: None
Course: Nice rolling course. One big hill at about mile 4. Roads were slippery and it was very misty out, so it made it hard to see with my glasses on. I ended up pushing them down further on my nose and looking over the top of them. LOTS of discarded glasses on the road, so I know I'm not the only one. Lots of bike wrecks due to slippery roads - had to corner a bit slow.

You won't see many run hills like that in other triathlons.  Your future triathlons will seem easy now that you've done this one!

Congratulations!
