  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: This is a great beginner race. Again, it was my first triathlon. This will teach you all the basics of setup, transition, soreness, putting all three together, etc. Great beginner race put on by Team-Magic. I love it, and now I'm hooked. Oh, and I put the time changes above not to say I could have had a better time (because my time is my time), but to show people that the littlest of things (proper clothing and preparation, listening, etc.) can subtract needed minutes from your overall time. Takeaways - buy a runner's belt, invest in the triathlon one-piece (I had a friend tell me he didn't want to buy one because most people who wear them are studs - hell, who gives a damn, if it takes time of your race and you don't mind investing the money, why not?), listen to race overview, run more after your bike workouts, and hydrate like a mofo.
