I've been running all winter and my time reflected the training. I did this last year and was going about 11 min/mi and having to walk so I was very happy with this. Started at the back of the middle and stayed there for the run

Nothing, continue my training and hope to speed up slowly

I can't run in cleats! The pavement was seal coat in transition and I didn't want to try to run in socks so walked/jogged as best I could to the mounting area.

Arrive earlier and get a transition spot closer to mount area so I don't have to run so far wth bike.

I like this bike course! It's flat to gently uphill on the way out and the reverse on the way back so you can make good time both ways. I passed a lot of people on the bike, making good use of my bike bell. This was the 1st event on my tri bike and it was a real improvement over last year on my road bike with aero bars. I LIKE bar end shifters!!

again, continue to train and improve slowly.

I was happier with this transition than the 1st one.

practice and get a bit more efficient

pretty rubbery off the bike but legs came back pretty quick. I was worried about the one hill on the course but felt pretty light going up. Pretty fun. It started to rain at the beginning of my 2nd lap but just a little bit.

continue to train and speed up slowly

Hang out, take some pictures, eat chips and Salsa, add some warm clothes, it had started raining by now.


just me and I'll work on that.


The event started on time and ran pretty smoothly I think. Water at the end and chips and salsa for munchies. An odd post event food but the hot salsa helped to warm me up. The volumteers were great!
