Brutal swim with all the people.
Quebec cup events are very competitive.
Got my 310xt knocked off my wrist. My buddy got a cut eye.

Losing the 310xt, on top of the cost, was hard since I use it to pace my bike and run. I was totally blind from that point on and I am a person that needs help with my pacing

Not wear the 310 on the wrist with the quick release. It's not made for a tri swim start

It was a long T2, the water was far from my bike, but everyone has the same problem

Not much. Long distance between swim and transition

Did it without speedometer or cadence or HR so was a little lost
Kept a moderate burn in the legs and felt pretty consistent all the way through

I lost a lot of time in U turns and 90 degree turns, braking in order to not slide on sand/gravel.

Practice bike handling skills. Since falling at tremblant, I'm a wuss.

Put backup cat eye on bike so if Garmin goes, I know what I'm doing.

Cramped up with 1km to go, just as I was passing someone I thought was in my age group. It hurt like a SOB so I backed off just enough to stay ahead of him but to keep the cramping in check.

It turns out he was in my age group and I did need to finish ahead of him to get points he had on me from the previous race

It was hard without markers to know pace. Next time, not lose Garmin :-)

None, just chatted with 2 team members


Not having anything to help me pace. I don't push hard enough without numbers in front of me.


Nice people, well organized, but markers on the run are a must. There were none.

Overall happy.
