New user 175 Houston, Texas | Subject: RE: Clear Lake So the race is over. I did well, I came in 4th in AG. I had 2nd in the bag but I missed the apartment driveway turn during the run and it cost me 2 minutes.... But PR in the swim. Oddly enough everyone's swim in my AG looked fast, a little too fast, but oh well. PR for MPH on the bike, 22+ and an ave run. Overall a good day minus the run mistake which cost me the 2nd... |

That sucks dude, but congrats on your day. I also got 4th in my AG. Caught a heel square at the first buoy in the Oly and let it mentally FUBAR my swim. A little disappointed in my race, but I can't complain with a 4th. |

Pro 4824 Houston | Subject: RE: Clear Lake Good: Best Oly swim in a long time. After a really bad Oly swim a little over a year ago I have been struggling with anxiety in the water but I handled what the swim gave me. It sure was obvious when the fast guys caught the women though, the whole chop of the water and aggressiveness of the swimmers changed. I feel bad that guys have to swim with guys all the time, y'all suck! Bad: Crashed the bike out of T1, bike jumped to big ring could not find any working gears for at least 5 miles, the chain just jumped constantly and it sounded like I had silverware in the garbage disposal. Finally found one gear in the big ring and the two easiest gears in the small ring. Made for a tough ride and I trashed my legs. Thought about pulling an aqua-bike but felt there are lessons to be learned on the course no matter what so I stuck it out. |

New user 9 Houston | Subject: RE: Clear Lake I did the sprint - it was my first brackish water swim and I lived to tell about it I cut my foot up a little getting out of the dock after a practice swim but thankfully it didn't bother me during the race, just after. I'm pretty sure the sprint course was short though. I know salt water helps a little, but not that much! The bike was a lot of fun except for the guys thinking it was okay to pass four abreast. I think I actually let out an audible "wheeeeeeeeeeeee" going down the bridge. That run sucks donkey balls and I don't know how you Oly folks did three laps of it. If they could figure out a nicer run course, I'd do the oly in a heart beat. |
