Carl Schneider – SavageMan 30.0 – Saturday, September 16, 2017

BBQ for dinner (Moonshadow Cafe was closed), ate too much, esp fries. Woke at 6:45, left hotel at 7:45, arrive by 8:00 for 9:00 start. Home-made iced coffee and bagel w/butter for breakfast. Honey/Nuun concentrate in water bottle. Swim: Start delayed 30 minutes due to fog. Only wore clear swim mask and only Lava pants, huge mistake, so cold on the bike, legs felt super tight. Found some good feet (low bubbles) early, but her sighted poorly and we went way too wide. Dropped him at the bridge and picked up some better feet, but cold made it really hard to stay with him. Seemed like he went wide also and headed straight to the 3rd yellow buoy solo, then picked up some new legs until almost the finish. Bike: Didn't dry off or put on any dry clothes (no socks) and really shivered at first, rear wheel felt wonky so I stopped in the park to check the pressure. It was fine, the feeling must have been related to the cold/shivering. Passed Joe about 1/2 way, he was riding his wife's bike. Worked hard ar possible once I was warmed up on the bike, passed by some, passed many, esp. on the climbs. Run: Felt good, put on dry socks and ran like hell. 008/014 063/103 0:33:29 Swim ___/014 ___/103 0:02:04 T1 002/014 024/103 1:17:42 Bike ___/014 ___/103 0:01:10 T2 001/014 021/103 0:50:16 Run 002/014 025/103 2:44:40 Triathlon 002. 14 54 Carl Schneider Ellicott City MD 008 33:29 2:04 002 1:17:42 1:10 001 50:16 2:44:40 025. 14 54 Carl Schneider Ellicott City MD 063 33:29 2:04 024 1:17:42 1:10 021 50:16 2:44:40
