2 June 2016 - Boulder Stroke and Stride
Last Thursday I participated in my first multi-sport event of the season. The event is called the Boulder Stroke and Stride and is put on by Without Limits Productions. The event is scheduled pretty much weekly between June 2 and August 4th and provides swimming and 5K running options. The swim is in Boulder Reservoir and the run is an out and back course along the Dam. I chose to do the short course which is a 750 meter (1/2 mile) swim followed by a 5K run. My goals for this event were: Get back into my wetsuit in an organized event Test out my Garmin 910XT in multisport mode Get some open water swim time with other people kicking and splashing around me Work on transition from wetsuit to running gear See how I do running after swimming I decided to not register until last minute so arrived at the event at 430pm when registration opened. Bottom line I arrived way too early since the swim didn't start until about 605pm. The registration process was simple and
