 Swim
Comments: I was bummed to not wear wetsuit but water was just too warm. Lots of bumping around in my wave, suffered a few kicks and whacks but overall was okay. Switched to breast stroke a few times for sighting. I felt my Road ID bracelet slipping off about 2/3 of swim. I grabbed it just in time before it was headed to the bottom of the murky lake! I ended up swimming with it clasped in my right hand for the remainder of the swim, I'm sure that didn't help my stroke! What would you do differently?: Swim faster  Transition 1
Comments: It was raining as we were setting up transition so some of my things were wet and in plastic bags. That slowed me down a tad. I'm disappointed with my T1 time especially since I didn't have to get out of my wetsuit. Not sure what happened here.  Bike
Comments: Felt pretty good on the bike. Was passed mostly by men, only a few women. I was happy to have an average pace over 16mph. What would you do differently?: Bike faster Transition 2
 Run
Comments: Clearly I need to work on my run again following taking a break due to shin injury. I was very happy that I only walked through water stops and my shin cooperated. I found a guy that was running the same pace as me and we ended up being "runny buddies" for most of the run. It was great to have the company, made it go by faster. He smoked me at the finish line, though. :) What would you do differently?: Train more for the run when injury-free and run faster! Post race
Warm down: Walked around to catch my breath after sprinting to finish What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of run training due to injury. I need to continue to train consistently so I can keep making progress with my race results. Event comments: Loved this race and would totally do it again! Such a great race course and wonderful atmosphere!! Lots of my Baystate Tri teammates were there, which always makes for a good time!! Last updated: 2012-01-30 12:00 AM

Expert 1007 Missouri | Subject: RE: Sharon's Back Triathlon Nice race Kristen! Congrats on the bike speed. Having a "running buddy" always helps with keeping the pace up and making the time go by. |

Master 3195  Just South of Boston | Subject: RE: Sharon's Back Triathlon Nice race! I think I spoke to you yesterday at the race -- asked you if your name was "katie" (brain cramp #1,283 of the day) as you were headed to the beach. I'm nearly 100% sure it was you, and I feel like a doofus for screwing up your name!  |

YES, it WAS me!! Haha, that's too funny! You were probably thinking "Katie" since my BT username is kpringle! I totally recognize your "Mike_D" username on BT. I've seen your posts! I wish I had made that connection when we saw each other, I would have stopped to chat more! I just assumed I looked like a Katie you knew... How was your race? That was my first time doing Sharon and I really enjoyed it!! |

Master 3195 Just South of Boston | Subject: RE: Sharon's Back Triathlon Had fun. Terrible run for me, but swim & bike were good. I liked the race as well, and may go back next year. Next time I'll be sure to get your name right! |

New user 322 KY | Subject: RE: Sharon's Back Triathlon Nice race! DH and I recently did a tri up here in NY where we had hoped would be wetsuit legal but it ended up being too hot. In the end, I was happy about that because it would have been miserable with the wetsuits and the water actually felt so refreshing on the skin. Glad to hear your shin cooperated! |
