Started first. Felt good for first half. Last half shoulders were getting tired.

Train more swimming

Shoes were not open in transition. Ran with shoes on feet to mount line.

Have straps open.

Led for most of the first loop. Was going too fast, just excited to be in the lead.Maybe drank too much, felt sloshy on the run.

Slow down a little at the beginning.

Ran with bike shoes to transition after brief walk immediately off bike. Legs wobbly taking shoes off. Stabilized and put on running shoes. Ran out of transition

Run whole way in.

Legs felt heavy at the beginning. After first aid station, felt better. Last mile or so felt like I was in a groove.

go out faster.

Two waters, a donut and chocolate milk. A little stretching.


Unsure about what to expect.


Small race in its first year. Just a small community race, but great for first timers. I wish there had been 1 more aid station on the run. Bike course was not closed, but traffic was stopped at each intersection. No problems there. Run was through a quiet neighborhood. Some raffles at the end, a dj, but nothing too fancy. Great race for kids (have 2 mini spints for ages 6-9, 10-13). Overall, great experience and looking forward to more tri's!
