Maritime International Triathlon 2013 Race Report - May 2013

I'd made the command decision to have a brief "off season" during the beginning of summer, thus breaking up the 2013 year into seasons Part I and Part Deux. On my schedule, the inaugural Maritime International Triathlon in Talbot MD, presented by the Maryland Triathlon Series, would punctuate the triathlon portion of Part I.

How I selected this particular race somehow escapes me, although I do recall some reluctance to shorten up the day by choosing an Olympic distance race, vice my usual half-iron distance preference. During my pre-season meeting with my coach we talked about where I might do well and which might be actually be...wait for it... fun!

No, don't get too excited, most all my races are awful, painful, and/or contain elements of "WTF?". I will forget things, I will break my things, or my tools will rebel against me. "Les choses sont contre nous" -- "Things are against us."

Preparing the noms.
