 Swim
Comments: Had to pee before ever getting in the water and tried doing so for the first 200 of the swim to no avail. Finally relieved myself in the last 200 meters. Sighting was better than ever as well as rounding buoys. I just need to become a better swimmer.  Transition 1
Comments: Pretty decent transition, 2nd in AG, 11th overall What would you do differently?: Practice getting my suit off more.  Bike
Comments: Pretty good on the bike, never was passed, and climbed really well. The course change was definitely in my favor as there were more hills which is all I get to train on. I really liked the course and approached 50 mph on the descents. What would you do differently?: Pushed a little harder? Transition 2
Comments: 1st in AG, 22nd overall What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: Best run I have ever had, EVER, stand alone, tri, EVER! What would you do differently?: Nothing Post race
Warm down: Walked around, grapped some watermelon and orange slices What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of swimming ability, otherwise pretty pleased Event comments: Nothing much else to say than HFP puts on a great event. They had many challenges getting this race setup with construction, landslides, etc and they made it happen. Last updated: 2011-05-04 12:00 AM

Expert 997  North Central WV | Subject: RE: Mountaineer Triathlon - Sprint Distance Great race, congratulations. Had to laugh about the TMI on the swim Wow, smoking fast run. Glad I wasn't there this year. You'd have whipped my butt with that new bike AND a smokin' fast run. Way to go. What's next? I was planning on doing the SSS but it isn't happening. So I guess I will just be running this year. |
I take it that there wasn't as much fog as last year? I had a horrible time sighting last year.| 2011-06-28 11:16 AM in reply to: #3570067 |
Expert 1074 Tyrone, Georgia | Subject: RE: Mountaineer Triathlon - Sprint Distance Thanks, a little bummed as I just heard about the SSS being a no go but at least they are planning on still having the kids race anyway. My next planned race is Savageman 70 in September. Just need to get some more time on the bike in the hills although Chip has me convinced that I need to get a Speed Concept. We will just have to wait and see. |

Not much, didn't check in the day before so I had to check in, get marked, and then setup transition. Bike course had been changed again so I was somewhat concerned as I had no idea what to expect. Family showed up around 15 minutes before the gun went off. It was nice to have them there as they had never been for a start of the race. Definitely kept me relaxed which was really nice.
Didn't get any warmup as I did not think we could get into the water beforehand. As I was walking down the ramp I saw people in the water where the exit was and wished I had gotten and at least flooded my suit.
