As I swam I was pulling up seaweed with my stride.

I would start out more in the front, I was like in the third row of swimmers in the water and during the start it was just chaos. Once I got around a few people and stopped swimming over them, then I was fine.

The transition was a run through some wet thick grass up a small hill to the mount line with your bike.

Placed: 106/409

Possibly attach shoes to wheels and just hook in while riding and not use socks. Would shave a few seconds off the time.

I did average I thought on the ride. I rode the course a few days prior and went faster about 0.2 mph faster but that was without a swim beforehand.

I would practice swim/bike bricks more. Also do some more climbing and up the bike speed. Only been riding for 3 months now so have a lot more potential to get faster I feel.

Went pretty good. The transition was down a wet grassy hill from the dismount line so you had to run your bike through it. It wasn't very flat.

Placed: 178/409

Try to dismount out of shoes before getting off bike. Possibly do a running dismount.

I paced myself pretty well. I worked really hard the last two weeks doing running after faltering badly last time. This run was my fastest 2 mile run so far and I did not have to stop once and felt really strong. I had no cramping problems.

Push harder toward the end. I felt real strong and probably could have gone faster.

Got a glass of water and a hoagie and then watched everyone else finish. I was in the first wave so there were many still on the course.


Limited training. Only been training for 3 months. I think I need to run more which is my weakness and also put more time in the saddle.


The race was very well organized and excellently run and staffed. I would definitely look to do another piranha race in the future.
