 Swim
Comments: The water was WAY warmer in the pool than the rain coming down, so the swim felt great. I felt very comfortable in the water (no surpise, since it's a pool) and only bumped in to one other person. What would you do differently?: Nothing - I was spot on for my swim performance.  Transition 1
Comments: Because there were only 6 of us, they let us put our bikes and transition bags right by the pool entry. I had a very difficult time getting my shoes tied, which drove me nuts. I couldn't get my jacket on very quickly either, because it was soaked from the rain. What would you do differently?: Use the Yankz shoes laces I bought specifically for tris.  Bike
What would you do differently?: I need to get clipless pedals or toe clips b/c my feet kept sliding all over the pedals. Otherwise, my ride was spot on for me. Transition 2
Comments: T2 consisted of hopping off my bike and handing it off to one of the race volunteers. I had to fight with my gloves, which was something new, but oh well. I stretched good, which accounts for the long T2 time. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Run
Comments: I felt good for the first mile or so, but then my calves began to cramp up and it was downhill from there. I was forced to run/walk for the rest of the run, which accounts for the slower time than I had anticipated. What would you do differently?: More bricks!!!!!!!!!!!! Post race

Science Nerd 28760  Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Holden Oasis Mini Triathlon Congratulations, triathlete!!!! Way to stick through it with all the nasty weather. As a piece of advice, I sometimes leave my gloves on in T2 and work on taking them off while I am running. It saves time and I can put them in the pocket in my tri suit, so it isn't too big of a deal. |

Got up at 3:30 to eat breakfast, drink some coffee, shower, shave, and wake up. Left the house at 4:30 to make it to the race by 5:30. Jogged a little to warm up and then stood around for an hour b/c the RD decided to move the start time from 6:00 to 7:00. I took my PowerBar gel at 5:45, so by 7:00 I'm not sure what it was worth.
