 Swim
Comments: The swim is still by far my weakest event, but relative to previous performances, I felt pretty good about this swim, and certainly the pace was better than it has been. Sighting went well, and I finished at least able to see some of the open athletes, unlike in my previous stints in the open division. I think the time includes a 50-75yd run into transition. What would you do differently?: Train more.  Transition 1
Comments: Well, I didn't realize that there was a separate transition area for open athletes, so I definitely lost a few seconds or so in T1 and more than that in T2 because of this mistake. Otherwise, fine (second fastest T1 overall). What would you do differently?: Pay attention.  Bike
Comments: Less than a minute off the fastest ride. Considering how little I've been riding lately, I feel good about that result. What would you do differently?: Train. Transition 2
Comments: A poor T2. I lost out a lot for not being in the open area on this one as it required an 'out and back' whereas the open athletes were able to run straight through. On top of that, I ran past my rack and had to run back two racks to my spot. Oh well. Everything else went very smoothly. What would you do differently?: Pay attention.  Run
Comments: Not terrible considering my tired legs (over 65 miles this week so far). I came out of T2 5 yards behind another guy but he was too strong for me. On the other hand, I caught and passed two other guys, so overall, OK. Some day I'll do one of these with fresh legs and see what I can do. Post race
Warm down: I walked around a bit, changed, ate a really good peach, and drove back to Edisto. What limited your ability to perform faster: No taper. This was definitely a 'for fun' race, with no consideration in training. And it was indeed fun. I'd definitely do another one of these races if the opportunity presents itself. Event comments: A well run local race. Last updated: 2011-06-12 12:00 AM

New user 239 Walterboro | Subject: RE: CSTS Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series - Race #4 The bike was definately shorter. On section of the race was taken out because of road construction. The bike is normally 12.8 but Sunday I think it was more like 10.8. I heard everything from 10.8 to 11.4 from a few different people from thier bike computers.

Veteran 427 | Subject: RE: CSTS Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series - Race #4 Wow, those transition times are amazing for this race! I thought that the timing mats were down by the water exit in the previous races, but maybe they have been moved. I just vaguely remember hearing a lot of beeping as I exited the water, but it may have been in my head. |

Yeah, I often hear beeping noises in my head after I swim... I think the mat was at the entrance to T1. |

Up at 5:00. I drove the hour from Edisto to James Island and found the race venue easily. The usual stuff.
Ran 2 miles with pickups. Swam about 200 yards.
