Subject: RE: Leon's Triathlon Unfortunately I didnt finish Started the swim in wave 4 back of the pack like I always do, outside. About a 200 meters into it the guy next to me started gasping and saying he couldnt breathe, so I stopped with him and the jet skis were all on the inside, so he had to wait until all the swimmers in wave 5 came by. I did not mind one bit stopping to sit with this guy, I would make it up on the bike. But the wait for the jet ski put me a full ten minutes behind everyone else, so I finished dead last in the swim. Had a blow out on the first loop and had my re occuring hip problems pop up so I didnt even bother the run and dropped out! I liked the set up, did not like how the swim course was set up, bouys (? ) could have been marked bigger especially the turn around and jet skis could have been outside and inside at least marking somewhat of a boundry. Other than that, I liked the bike, though it was a bit longer, the weather cooperated with us. I will do it again next year. |
