Kinetic Half - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

Swim went really well, sighting was good but still needs work. Really worked hard to make sure I was using distance per stroke and body roll to keep my efficiency

sight better.

Went better than expected. decided to not wear sunglasses due to rain and also passed on calf sleeves

Not much

Bike went great, LOVE MY POWER METER. Worked hard to not chase down everyone who passed me and really watched the watts on the climbs and keep the cadence the same up and down hill. Legs felt awesome, caught a few guys who passed me early just by racing my race

Not much, maybe not take in as much fluids during the last 10 miles

went great, sat my butt down to put on socks. New lock laces are so much better than what I was using.

Nothing

Run started off great but as it turns out to fast. going into mile 7 I was avg 7:40 per mile. went to crap from that point on, mile 7 was over 8 and it just got worse as the hills wore me down. mile 10 I think was 8:39 avg but I was able to work that back down under 8 for the rest of the race. that last loop was hell

not go out so fast and really watch the speed early in the race. Figure out a way to get better on hills without aggrevating the IT band issue

10 min run


damn hills on the run


over all a great race, not a PR but only a minute something off and this time no current assisted swim and HILLS! The bike was faster than B2B on those hills, so that has me very happy and my swim time was a great surprise and right on target with my training.
