Awesome! I was planning to do the Boston Tri for the first time next year.... but im deathly afraid of jellyfish.. do you think a tri on the cape would be better?
This was the first time we had jellyfish at Boston when I have raced, my 4th race, 3rd swim, one year the swim was cancelled due to weather. I am afraid of everything in the water and managed to get through it, these ones didn't sting. I am not sure if The Cape would be better, no jellies at Hyannis last year. Boston is definitely a nice race and if you have family there it's great for spectators.
Im planning on doing this but suck at swimmjing. My question for the transition area besides having a bike do you have a change of clothes and just change to dry stuff? Under garments and all? And if so do you keep your bag near the bike? And do you leave it before the race with your bike? Or running sneakers etc?
You typically swim in what you bike and run in. You can get some tri shorts or a tri suit. You set your stuff up at transition. It stays with your bike, you can leave your bike the night before in Boston or set up race morning. Sorry I just saw this message. Let me know if you have more questions, I just helped my friends through their first race.
@@after4091 i have not signed up. Yet. The swimming part is my issue. Im at the pool and trying and cant do 100 yards without stopping. I got everything else down. There are still spaces available so im not worried
I've heard of lots of fears in triathlon but jellyfish down the bra and crabs on the feet is a new one for me 😂😂 Great video.
@@SwimBikeRunStu 😂 thanks
