Escape The Cape Triathlon - Olympic Course - TriathlonOther

Ended up not being a bad swim despite the confusing course. Came out of the water at 15:11 then took a minute to run up to the sensor for T1.

Nothing.

The timing on this is messed up. I was somewhere around 3:00 for T1 and around 2:00 for T2, so I think these were added together for some reason. I have no registered time for T2 as many others.

Nothing. Had a good transition. The BodyGlide helped big-time with the wetsuit removal.

Was going great until around mile 5. Was consistently going 23.5-24 mph, right where I wanted to be and felt good. Then the flat tire came after coming off the bridge for the second time on the 1st lap. Didn't have any tools so had to ride the remaining 15 miles on it. Only averaged 19.4mph in the end. Was really annoyed but that's racing. Just have to deal with it.

Couldn't do much, really, about the flat.

Must have been added onto T1.

Nothing.

Overall bad run, simply because I couldn't find anyway to get going through that sand. Didn't start to normally run until I got on the blacktop to the finish, but by then I was already exhausted from battling the sand.

Run more on soft sand possibly...? I don't live down the shore so wouldn't be able to do that. Not sure if there's anyway you can prepare for this run course unless you live there.

Didn't really do much. Rode 2 miles back to parking but that's about it.


Flat tire, not being prepared to run on the sand.


I'm usually all for Delmo Sports (always a 5/5 rating in past) but wasn't exactly happy with this race. I felt like the run course on the sand was unnecessary, and it was a much longer wait than expected for the Int'l athletes to start. The swim was also too confusing. The buoys on the course were pretty meaningless.
