Muskoka 70.3 - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

I think the swim course was a little short, maybe by 50 or 100 meters.
Regardless, my swim time was amazing for a couple reasons:
1) I started swimming 6 weeks ago, and only swam 2x per week
2) I didn't kick at all - maybe a couple kicks to get around someone, but thats it.


nothing

I may have lost 10sec putting my tri suit on in transition, 5 sec taking my wetsuit off, and 5 sec clipping my race bib in.
The run to transition is about 400m uphill, so thats why it is nearly 5min

nothing

It was a great ride, I felt pretty good through most of it. A few occasions I found myself pushing the pace a little too hard, and I quickly adjusted and found my comfort zone again.

train more, bike faster

I run with my bike shoes on, so I have to run slow (pavement was wet, and downhill into transition)

nothing

best run of my life. It took a lot of restraint at first (running 5:15 or 5:30min/km for first 2km). A lot of people passed me. But, I allowed my legs to get comfortable, and my breathing to settle and get into a nice & relaxed pace.

nothing

walking, stretching, eating


need more training, and that just takes time.


I am signing up next year!
