 Transition 1
Comments: The run uphill to T1 from the waterwas more difficult than I expected. What would you do differently?: Dry off my feet and body better before putting on socks and bike shoes  Bike
Comments: If this wasn't my first Tri I would have dropped out after blowing the tire, but I wanted to finish this race badly. Next time I would not crush my quads riding on chip seal with a flat. What would you do differently?: Need to get a tri-bike and figure out a better tire/tube system. Transition 2
Comments: Would have put my race bib on a strap/belt so I could clip it on easily. I thought I was going to pin it on in T2. Stupid. I was so pissed about the bike flat and anxious about getting to the run I just grabbed the bib in my fist and took off. What would you do differently?: Dried my feet and had another pair of socks. I sloshed the entire run leg. Had gatoraid and better nutrition in T2.  Run
Comments: My quads cramped the entire time. I attribute this largely to being stubborn and pedaling a flat tire for 11-12 miles. The trail-rock environment was very difficult to deal with, as were the hills. What would you do differently?: Train harder on the bike Post race
Warm down: I did not warm down. Quads cramping badly. Had to sit. Event comments: Bike and run was hilly for where I am used to training. This being my first triathlon, I would definitely try to find a course closer to what I am accustomed to next time. Last updated: 2013-09-16 12:00 AM

Veteran 2842     Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Trifecta Triathlon - Olympic Course Congrats on finishing what sounds like a rough race! Two flats? That would get inside a lot of people's heads, no doubt! Sounds like you learned a lot from this race, too, which is great. Again, congrats on finishing your first tri and welcome to the addiction (I hope)!! Matt |

| 1 | Subject: RE: Trifecta Triathlon - Olympic Course I was very jaded yesterday, but that has now turned into determination. I wanted badly to finish under 3 hours. While I know that may have been a lofty goal for an aging first timer, I felt like I had the training under my belt to do it. I remember yesterday's triathlon like I do basic training in the US Army: It was miserable (bike and run legs), but I do it again!  Thanks for the reply/encouragement. |
