I decided I had better try the 10.5 mi and 5K that I'll be doing in Morgantown.
I did parking lot laps at Mountain Park for the bike portion. There is a bit of an elevation change between the 2 lots and there are quite a few turns to negotiate. I'm guessing there will be fewer turns in Morgantown but I suppose there may be more hills.
I actually finished the bike quicker that I'd thought I would but there wasn't a swim ahead of it.
My biggest concern regarding the bike is passing people and being passed. (I'm hoping I'll get to pass someone!). Maybe I'll have a later start time (it's a staggered start) and I'll get to watch some people on the course ahead of time.
The beginning of the run could also be a problem. I started my run much faster than I should. Which surprised me given the awkward feeling of running after biking . The only way I knew I was running too quickly was the foot pod. Would I be allowed to use a foot pod during the race? It's basically the same as a bike computer right? (those are allowed too right?)
Genine's HR monitor is back in action also. I had hoped we'd have it for the Tango, it arrived the Monday following, naturally. I'll bring it along in case you'd like to use it Craig.

The trail is "closed" to people not doing the tri. A guy walking a dog made me a little nervous last year on the bike. I just yelled coming up on the left. He got good control. With Heats of 10 people, It is difficult. Just so you know I passed one person last year and got passed by a another person. I reeled him in on the run. On the run I passed a couple people from the previous heat who were suffering.
Amazingly the swim in my heat set the positions for the most part. A couple little changes.
