Pretty good swim for where my swim fitness is right now. Felt pretty comfortable the whole time.

So, there was a huge puddle going into T1. I went right into it and discovered that it was very slippery! I busted my tail pretty hard. Road rash on my arm, back and hip. DOH!

Not exactly what I was looking for on the bike. I was working hard but barely moving! I need a lot more time in the saddle to improve my bike time!

Comments:

Not a good T2. My in-sole was a bit bunched from the warm-up and wasn't straightened out before race time. I spent a few extra seconds getting it straight.

Good run! PR 5K time in a tri! I had a cramp in my calf that started on the bike so I shortened my stride and increased the cadence like crazy. I kept picking out people to chase and then opened up at the very end and poured everything out. I don't think I had anything left to give but wonder if I could have pushed more on the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Short run trying to loosen the calf.

Event comments:

Parris Island is one of my favorites in the GTS SCTS! I love the atmosphere with the Marines and the start of the season. This is a family weekend for us and we enjoy the food and visit to historic Beaufort, SC!

This will be my first tri and was wondering about the T1 setup.  can you give me some pointers on what you did leaving the pool, ruuning to the transistion are and the clothing you had to put on or should not have put on because of the temps.

Hey! Sorry for the delay on replying. I just got this. There's only once since 2006 that I've ever had to put on anything after the swim. It was 45° and wind 20mph. You should be plenty warm enough going onto the bike. Be careful coming into T1 if there are puddles because they get slippery from algae.

Best of luck to you!
