  • 35m

  • 01m 02s / 100 yards
Comments:

Actually, this is a kayak paddle for 2m and it was the second event. I was 3 weeks before surgery on my left shoulder (SLAP tear) so performance was hampered. Was much tougher than I thought and in my own defense I hadn't practiced in a kayak. Only through weight training.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more, go on healthy shoulder
Transition 1
  • 02m
Comments:

Transition between run and kayak. Continued run to get canoe, carried to reservoir.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

  • 5 miles
  • 15.92 mile/hr
Comments:

Borrowed an off-road bike for this that was in horrific condition. Kept a good pace, but gears were awful.
What would you do differently?:

Will get my own bicycle for the next one
Transition 2
  • 02m
Comments:

Transition between kayak and bike. Carried kayak (with help from staff - allowed in this triathlon) back to transition, ran to get bike, put shoes, helmet on and took off. Good transition.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Run
  • 24m 30s
  • 2.7 miles
  • 09m 04s  min/mile
Comments:

Fun run around reservoir. Got off to quick start, but would have liked a better result.
What would you do differently?:

Push it mentally
Post race
Warm down:

Walking

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bike stunk, could have pushed run harder, needed surgery on shoulder for kayak.

Event comments:

Fun race, will do it again.
