 Swim
Comments: On the swim I felt very strong, although Sally and I were placed in wave one with all of the hot dogs! Not sure why we were put there, but we did request the same wave so maybe that's where they had space. We let they fast guy go and then went. Sally struggled, but we agreed to stay together for the race, so I would tread water and wait for her. Could have done the swim at least 5 minutes faster I think, I felt really good in the water. What would you do differently?: Maybe just swim my own race?  Transition 1
Comments: Transitions were not clocked What would you do differently?: Felt like my transitions were fast. Did everything standing and waited for Sally.  Bike
Comments: Could have gone faster on the bike. Transition 2
Comments: T2 felt fast. Did not fall off of the bike which was great!  Run
Comments: Stomach acid issues were bad. Had to walk 3 time to get it to calm down slightly. This was a bad week, dehydrated on Tuesday which put my stomach issues all out of line. Did ok and Sally stayed with me which made me run more than I probably would have on my own. What would you do differently?: Maybe take Pepto before a race Post race
Warm down: Walked backed to finish line and cheered people coming in. Walked home after breakfast. What limited your ability to perform faster: Stomach problems Event comments: There was no assistance on the bike, big concern if people fall get into trouble. Would be great of there was a water stop on the run, I hated holding my water bottle Last updated: 2006-06-23 12:00 AM

| Member 15 | Subject: RE: Tiburon Sprint Triathlon good job! I did the Tiburon Tri as well and had a good time, even though the event was a little too informal I thought. BTW I was told that the wave intervals were 5 mins apart, however based on the timing it appears that they were only 3 mins - did you hear anything about that even though you went in the first wave. Thanks and keep up the good work. Dutch |

Pro 3730 NorCal | Subject: RE: Tiburon Sprint Triathlon Dutch- The announcement I heard was that waves were going off every 3 minutes and from the water it seemed like they were on schedule for that  How did your race go? Abbie |

| Member 15 | Subject: RE: Tiburon Sprint Triathlon It was my first tri in 12 years, first open water wetsuit swim as well. I had a panic attack(around the seawall) due to being uncomfortable and constricted by the wetsuit cap. I was really trippin, anyway all of my training to date went out the window due to this and I really struggled to finish- came in about 2 mins over my target time. I had a good bike except that I dropped my water bottle and stopped to pick it up, and also got stuck unable to pass some riders at times out on Paradise Dr. I did not have much left on my run - my tank was empty, i guess Chuck E Cheese the night before was a bad idea . Overall it has given me some good practice and things to work on before my next race, PacGrove Oly in Sept. |

Pro 3730 NorCal | Subject: RE: Tiburon Sprint Triathlon Congrats on getting back into tri-ing. This is my first season and so far I really enjoy the sport. Where do you live? If you are interested, there is a small group of us (4 of us) that have been practicing our open water swims at Aquatic Park in SF on the weekends. It really helped with my comfort level in the water yesterday. If yuo are interested in joining us, just let me know. Abbie |

Regular 101 Petaluma, CA | Subject: RE: Tiburon Sprint Triathlon I know these posts are from a year ago, but I was wondering if either of you had any tips for me. I will be doing my first Tri at this years Tib Tri and I am looking forward to it. I don't have all the gear, but I was thinking my first priority should be a wet suit. Also, how many people did you see on mountain bikes? I've got road tires on it or would it be better to rent a true road bike for the day? Thanks for helping out a newbie! Scott |
