The Dalles, Oregon
United States
Tri Northwest Team
Total Time = 1h 38m 24s
Overall Rank = 81/108
Age Group = 50-59
Age Group Rank = 2/7
Pre-race routine:

Had a light breackfast. Didn't race until 9:35. It was nice not to have to rush.
Event warmup:

Didn't really warm up did a bit of stretching and a lot of worrying.
Swim
  • 10m 33s
  • 550 yards
  • 01m 55s / 100 yards
Comments:

Felt so much better this time because of all my swims in the open water. Finally not choking and hyperventilating, but it might have had a lot to do with the short disntance.
What would you do differently?:

Swim faster. More drill work to pick up speed.
Transition 1
  • 04m 16s
Comments:

My transition wasn't very quick because I needed the recovery time. I had a crampy achey feeling all over. I just took my time and didn't get in that big of hurry. I thought I would pay for it on my run if I didn't use the couple of minutes to recover. I don't regret it but I'm not sure why I felt so bad.
What would you do differently?:

Don't know. Maybe practice more brick workouts so my legs are more accustomed to getting out of the water then running to the transition area.
Bike
  • 52m 26s
  • 12.43 miles
  • 14.22 mile/hr
Comments:

I am inspired to take a spin class. I am starting tomorrow. I think that will help me tremendously. I feel that I have a lot of room for improvement in my biking.
What would you do differently?:

Train more.
Transition 2
  • 02m 13s
Comments:

I didn't go for my shortest transition time. Again I felt like I just need to take my time.
What would you do differently?:

Practice brick workouts.
Run
  • 28m 55s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 18s  min/mile
Comments:

This run felt the best efver. I felt like I actusally kicked it in slightly the last few yards. Although not as much as I would have liked!
What would you do differently?:

The first mile was a killer would like to see that get better at the next tri
Post race
Warm down:

Uhh oops forgot to do that.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough drill work.

Event comments:

They didn't have any sponsors for the race which was weird. For the seventeenth annual race I had much higher expectations of the overall event. I was somewhat dissappointed in the pre and post race activities.
