Pre-race routine:

Wasn't going to race because of HR issue. 5 p.m. start time so thought I'd just go to watch. Suppose to do the tri the next day. Felt odd being late in the day.
Event warmup:

Met up with a friend and ran about 1/2 mile.

Comments:

Storms were rolling in and the RD decided to shorten the tricky parts of the run and bike to try and accommodate the participants. A bit disappointing because its already short. 2-16-2. Now the run was 1.4 - both sides. Still had the steady uphill to turnaround. I signed up at the site so I was in the last wave. I started pretty much dead last over the timing mat. I had to veer just outside the cones to even get moving. Wasn't expecting much. Steady passing throughout but nothing too crazy.
What would you do differently?:

Start at the front of the last wave rather than at the back.
Transition 1
  • 00m 46s
Comments:

Didn't have rubber bands to keep shoes in place. As I was running out before mounting, shoe hit the ground and made the bike hop up and go off line. As I was mounting my inner thigh hit the seat and almost crashed. Rookie mistakes, pretty bad. So bad I actually was laughing at myself. Gave the crowd something to talk about at least. Didn't get into shoes very well either.
What would you do differently?:

Rubber bands would've helped. The mount was just a mistake, no biggie other than losing some seconds. Getting up to speed seemed slow.

Comments:

Cut the course because of storms to 13.2. Steep rollers up to 11%. Smooth. Starting way back, I had to maneuver through the packs of riders early. In the rain, people were being cautious downhill and in turns. Thought the police cars were setup poorly in the turns, cutting off some room on the road. Early evening the deer were moving...if one fella wasn't yelling loudly I would have missed the upcoming three crossing over. Definitely not what I'm used to with early traffic in corners and needing to slow. Hills definitely took something out of me. Haven't been riding much lately and it showed.
Transition 2
  • 00m 49s
Comments:

Left thigh was beginning to cramp so I took some time and took a few gulps of Gatorade from my bottle. This was a slow transition and my rack position added extra run time in and out twice!

Comments:

Seemed like I was taking mini strides working my way up the hill. Thigh cramped after the turnaround. Worsened on the slight downhill grade. Knew I would finish but couldn't really give much in the end. Barely crossed the line and a volunteer just about tackled me for the timing strap.
Post race
Warm down:

Zippo. Grabbed water and some food and favorite cc cookies.

Event comments:

Basically did the race just to stay in the yearlong points competition. Lucky to have won....lots of errors.

After doing duathlons for the last couple of years, I decided to go for a triathlon. Starting with an Olympic-distance race perhaps wasn't wise, but it was fun (of a sort).

Is it possible for loners to work in a small group and still have plenty of time on their own? Training in small groups can give many benefits.

My first duathlon was a success. I had so many fears before the race but none of those fears happened. And when it was all over, I felt I had accomplished something big.

My first attempt two years ago was not so successful when a deck nail found its way into my foot a week before the race. But I kept plugging away the last couple of years to stay healthy and get back.

Don’t forget this is an incredibly big year for sport with the Olympics back in Athens where the modern Olympics started, and especially triathlon to make its second appearance.
