1. It is better
to start at the front.
2. I use shorter
strokes when the water has strong waves.
3. I put my
goggles strap under the cap.
4. I wear Speedo
Jammers instead of tri shorts.
5. Few
triathletes swim with bare torso. I’m
one the few.
6. I always think
I am forgetting something when leaving transitions 1 and 2.
7. I find it
better to come early and have a good parking space and not stress about the
whole process of pre race rituals. (timing chip, marking, briefing, bike
transition, picture taking etc.)
8. More than 50
percent of the race is spent riding the bike.
I got used to getting passed by.
9. I never used
my cycling shoes even at the White Rock Triathlon. I bought the pedals and shoes specifically
for WRT and future races but I wasn’t comfortable with it.
10. I mark my wrist with my goal time for T1 exit, T2
exit and finish time.
11. Transition 1 takes forever to complete.
12. The run leg is always tough to anticipate; I don’t
know when my ITBS will be there to accompany me.
13. No matter how many times I say to myself to get ready
to smile when approaching the finish line, I still forget to do so at times.
14. It is always a pleasure to see the marshals guiding
the triathletes.
15. Triathlon events are very well organized in general.
16. I have never done any long run, long swim, and
century ride yet.
17. A very big THANK YOU to the photographers on site
sharing their photos.
