Comparing the first to the second???

Well... the big difference between the two was I was a lot fitter this time. ^_^ I accomplished my goals of (almost) swimming the whole thing freestyle and running the whole way (i didn't walk a single bit!) I was a lot slower in transition though

PLUS I did the second one on my roadie...

The second tri the OTHER competitors were FAR more aggressive!!! I mean BF saw one lady in my category get SMASHED into the ramp because the woman behind her wanted to overtake her ON THE RAMP to go faster... She had gotten out just before I did!

I got beaten up in the water as well. Just people swimming in a straight line swim STRAIGHT over the top of you!!!



So my advice is PLAY NICE IN YOUR TRIS. I KNOW it's a race, but that's NEVER an excuse to push, shove and BEAT UP your fellow competitors.

Show your fellow athletes the same courtesy you'd show them on the bike. Keep a STRAIGHT line and they can go round if they're that desperate to pass you!
