Breathing could have been better. I would have loved to warm up in the pool first but it was so damn cold, lol

breathing more efficiently

Hands were so cold I could not buckle my helmet to save my life.

Had issues with changing gears on my bike. 2 hills whipped my butt.

Buy a new bike, lol

I really shouldn't have run, I had the beginnings of a shin splint in my left leg and pushed myself thru the run and pain. It flared up like mad later that day and by the second day afterwards I was limping.

I should have either arranged a relay or not done this tri due to a pre existing injury.

walking


mild nervous and injury


This was my 2nd triathlon.

It took me almost 30 minutes figure out where to park. No signs were posted directing you where to park. I noticed a lot of people were driving around trying to figure out the same thing.

Also wish they could do this race earlier on in the fall when its warmer. no race chips for this race so I'm wondering how accurate the times really are.

Still had a good time, friendly, encouraging triathletes and volunteers, and the race directior promptly answered questions regarding the race. Despite the cold I'd do this race again next year.
