Was going to go very easy on the swim because I registered day of the race so put at the end of the line but there were several people behind me. 1st turn guy behind me I guess thought I was a much slower swimmer and swam right over top of me. So I just fell in behind him and followed the wake of destruction he left. Sort of felt sorry for those who had registered slow times and were getting creamed.

Register early and get time in so I would be with comparable swimmers

could not find my tri shirt so had to put one on in transition cost me some time

get a tri suit

Tough ride first 5 miles tough rollers had to climb on every uphill, right turn and 5 mile climb very little down hill, down hill last .8

I always say lose weight but I thought I did much better climbing, but still lose weight

Shoe back got stuck down behind my heel but I just ran with it, thought it would come out but never did.

Felt blownup after the bike climbfest but settled into a pretty good pace for me. actually passed another Master Clydesdale, I do not ever remember passing someone I was racing on the run. In fact I really do not ever remember passing anyone on the run period

not be fat

took a shower hung out with the guy who won my class, nice guy


fat


Nice race even the mayor of Warrenton participated on a team. Hope this race continues nice little race. Of course placing for the 1st time ever helped
