Pre-race routine:

50 yard swim to get loose
Swim
  • 06m 20s
  • 300 yards
  • 02m 07s / 100 yards
Comments:

The swim time included run from pool to T1. I exited pool at 5:35 and ran a good tenth of a mile to T1
What would you do differently?:

My turns were slow as I climbed under the lane dividers. Should have swum under them.
Transition 1
  • 00m 50s
Comments:

Sock ripped on left and that cost me a few seconds, but biggest slow up was getting shoes into clips and getting up to speed. Cost me about 10 seconds
What would you do differently?:

Maybe start working on putting shoes into clips before race. I have to practice that first.
Bike
  • 19m 48s
  • 7.5 miles
  • 22.73 mile/hr
Comments:

Never felt like I was in a good rhythm. Was capable of being faster if pushed a bit harder.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure if lack of rhythm was course or struggle I had getting clipped in at start. Could have been combination of two.
Transition 2
  • 00m 45s
Comments:

I mis-racked bike so I had to move it and re-rack. Cost me about 5-10 seconds
What would you do differently?:

Pay better attention to right rack
Run
  • 14m 48s
  • 2.14 miles
  • 06m 55s  min/mile
Comments:

Mile splits were 7:12 and 6:57. Would have liked run splits to be sub 6:50 on both, so some work to do
What would you do differently?:

More interval work in brick,runs following hard bike work
Post race
Warm down:

Hang out with friends and family. Watch youngest daughter run 10-14 kids triathlon.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not pushing bike and run harder. Otherwise not too bad a race. A few small snafoos cost me about 20 seconds or so.

Event comments:

There are some nice aspects to this race. It is great for beginners and a nice outdoor pool to swim in. Bike portion is too short. This triathlon could easily add 3 miles to bike and an extra mile on run and get a few more serious triathletes interested in it. Shirts and medals to all participants is nice, but awards for winners are not that great.

Do we really need chia, spelt, and quinoa? Is anything wrong with old-fashioned peanut butter, broccoli and brown rice?

We have new 10 and 20 week training plans for the New Year! These mini sprint plans are very conservative and will get any person thinking of training for a triathlon ready to cross the finish-line.

My first triathlon was at age 56. At first I was just the cameraman at my daughter's first triathlon, then I am doing the races that she has done.

Cotswold super sprint - UK. Lots of bodies colliding, I swam half over someone, got kicked by some bloody breaststroker, and as a mob we poured towards the first buoy.

Already a cyclist and not a bad swimmer, I figured all I had to do was build up to running a few miles and I’d be ready to go. The challenge invigorated me, and I ran out to buy new running shoes.

Since I didn't have much time and since it's a super sprint, am I OK just go to at the training relatively hard through Thursday or even Friday?
