Subject: RE: SOMA triathlon Thought it was a good race and I will most likely do it again. Not a fan of some of the turns, especially the one on College, but there were by far more positives than negatives.
My day got off to a rough start. I was in the 6:34am wave and was swimming to the start line when the guy in front of me kicked my wrist. Looked down real quick and realized it knocked my 910xt extremely loose. I quickly grabbed it and tried to fasten before the swim started. Problem was, the kick completely knocked off the clasping bracket and I was extremely lucky the watch didn't sink to the bottom of the lake. Of course the announcer gave the 15-seconds till start message right after this happened... I slightly panicked but just stuffed it in my wetsuit right as the horn blew. Could have been worse!
I also saw a bad wreck just before the turnaround on McClintock. It looked like a lady veered to the left and took out a guy who was passing on the left. He looked to be in pain and was moaning and groaning. A volunteer was right there and immediately started helping out so I'm sure they got medical attention quick.
