ATITB Pics

I wanted to add some pictures to the blog for ya to check out.





This first one is me getting body marked before the race. Race number on hand and arm. Age on right calf; specific race on left calf (S for sprint for me).










My transition area before more bikes came in and made it super crowded.













Counter-clockwise swim. Right hand turn at that far orange buoy. Another orange buoy is out of the picture to the right that you made another right hand turn to head back towards the beach.



My wave takes off at 8:32am. 51 racers in my wave: Men 39 and under. I had the 27th best time.


Off the bike at the dismount line. Seconds before jumping a concrete curb and my left shoe falling off.


Hard to see but I am running out of transition to start the run leg - with my bike helmet still on! A race volunteer kindly told me about it and I dropped it in the grass.


Crossing the finish line in 1:15:02. My goal was to break 1:15 so I just barely missed. There were definitely a couple places that I lost time on. Learned a lot from this race.









Some other pictures from our weekend at Evangola State Park.

  1. Cool pics. Were the transition areas crowded? What was it like to sleep in a tent the night before the race?

  2. Transition was crowded but nothing that couldn't be handled. Sleep wasn't that great - bad air mattress mostly. I don't believe that bad sleep the night before had any effect.
