The first times you transition from bike to run are interesting as well. In my first tri I had cramps in my whole torsoe for the first mile after transition. It is hard to run when your stomach muscles and lower back are cramping.

Good luck at the Echo one, that was my first one and is a fast course.


Thanks piney. It is good to have it under my belt and now I feel I have a starting point on what to work on.
