BC Race Series #1 North Shore Triathlon Vancouver / May 23

Placement: 4th
 
Comments:  I found this a tough race.  It’s my very first Youth Elite race, which is a draft legal race, ages 12 to 15.  In other words I was racing Brock.  It was a new course and had a few things I didn’t expect.  This was also a pool swim but indoors.  Two age groups of boys swam at the same time so I was second out of the water to Brock (who is in the next age group up).   I had a lot of trouble in the transition area because of an instant hill out of transition.  I couldn’t get my cycling shoes onto my pedals and start going because of the hill.  I realize that is something I really will need to practice.  Several kids passed me while I was having trouble and three of them I was never able to catch before the end of the race.  The run was also hard for me today because I made the mistake of not drinking eload on the bike causing me to cramp badly and slow my run down.
