Amsterdam, Noord-Brabant
NL

66F / 19C
Overcast
Total Time = 2h 23m 48s
Overall Rank = 23/468
Age Group = 24+
Age Group Rank = 12/210
Event warmup:

Land based swim warm up
Swim
  • 27m 19s
  • 1500 meters
  • 01m 49s / 100 meters
Transition 1
  • 02m 58s
What would you do differently?:

I had trouble with my wetsuit, gloves, and generally took too long in T1. A faster T1 (i.e. 2min flat or 90 seconds) would have increased my rank be 3 places
Bike
  • 1h 11m 45s
  • 40 kms
  • 33.45 km/hr
Transition 2
  • 01m 42s
Comments:

This was a solid transition due to the size and shape of the transition zone.
What would you do differently?:

The fastest T2 in the race was 1 min flat, so I have room for improvement, but there wasn't much that felt slow in T2.
Run
  • 40m 38s
  • 10.6 kms
  • 03m 50s  min/km
Comments:

I got stuck by a draw bridge along with about 20+ other people. I only lost about 30 seconds. I'm not sure how it impacted everyone else's race, but I think it allowed me to catch a lot of people much earlier in the race.

A few of the guys at the bridge finished +5 to 15 seconds of my time and I don't know how long they waited at the bridge.
What would you do differently?:

No major changes, but based on my final 500m I could have run a little harder throughout the 10km.

I had a little too much left in the tank for a finishing sprint to say i gave it all i had during the run.
Post race
Warm down:

Little warm down...
A bit of walking and a nice stretch session later in the afternoon

Event comments:

TRI Amsterdam was a great race, even more so for an inaugural edition. The Amsterdamse Triathlons organization puts on very well organized events and creates a nice environment for spectators.

Your bike costs a lot to replace. Don't let it get rusty.
