This will be my first triathlon. I'm just seeking some advice from race alums. My biggest fear is the race transitions. Ugh! I'd love to get to know you all a bit better. I can always use motivation! Talk to you all soon.
I did this race last year and really enjoyed it. A couple of things to watch out for: the entrances and exits from transition are at opposite ends and you need to check that out carefully beforehand. Also, Iowa's water quality is just appalling so you should be careful not to swallow any water and to get cleaned off as soon as possible after the race. I've come down with a respiratory infection after a couple of Iowa races, and the only thing out of my usual routine was swimming in a lake instead of a pool. |
