![]() Swim
Comments: Overall the swim felt good. I was really surprised at how slow it was. I felt really good the entire swim. Passed a couple of people. Had to stop a couple of times to allow swimmers to get ahead in tight spots. I was happy with my endurance for the swim. I was able to swim "pretty" fast. What would you do differently?: Not surer what I could have done differently. I passed the person immediately in front of me by the 50 yrd mark. Probably should have tries to increase my pace at that point. Was concentrating on breathing and cadence. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: T1 continues to be slow. I really need to speed this up especially since I am not putting on socks. I think this will also become faster once I start wearing a full tri suit. No shirt to put on. What would you do differently?: Get a tri suit. ![]() Bike
Comments: Transitioned smoothly into the bike. Felt comfortable the entire ride. Was able to get to a comfortable pace and cadence and rode without much stress. My heartrate remained low. Was able to maintain speed pretty well on the climbs. What would you do differently?: My cycling has become a sore subject. I am totally disappointed with how slow I was on the bike. I can not blame the wind because we all faced the same conditions. I really think that it's my bike. I really need to look at getting a tri bike. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: T2 was good. Was able to get going quickly. No issues. What would you do differently?: This was pretty good. No changes. ![]() Run
Comments: Strong run to make up for bad cycle time. The run course was really comfortable. Didn't expend too much energy on the way out. Probably too it too easy. Sure I didn't run a negative split for this race. I need to practice running 5k's more. What would you do differently?: Run harder from the start. I should have been able to break a 20:30 5k on this course. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Little stretching. Powerade. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing. Event comments: Love this course and race. It's an excellent venue. Last updated: 2011-12-22 12:00 AM
