Westchester Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

somewhat choppy after the first 200m. I was caught right in the middle of the pack for the first 6 to 8 mins. then broke out to the outside. Tried to draft when possible.



Should position myself better at the start and probably take off a little faster.

Need to work on T1. I took it slower than at cranberry because my heart rate was high (upper 170s) while running from the swim and Iwanted todry off this time because it was somewhat cold.

1)shoes that i can put on while riding
2)practice, practice

Good bike ride for me. I broke the 20mph barrier. Yeah! Pushed it a little harder than my last (and first Oly) tri.

Just need to increase overall miles to get a bigger aeorobic engine next year.

not much to say

just practice more

Felt good throughout the run. Mile splits as follows: 8:59, 8:42, 8:59, 8:49, 8:13, 8:04. Sprinted towards finish, which was a mistake as my left hamstring cramped as I crossed the line.

Much improvement over last triathlon, the marathon training is paying off.

Not sprint at the finish

post race nutrition amino vital, oranges, and a bagel.


Overall great race, except for two problems
1)registration they screwed up where they had my packet. I live in NYC, but they had it up in Rye.They told me that theywould have would bring it down to NYC the next day, but didn't and then told me to pick it up at the expo on Sat.
2)Swim - distance not 1500m, more like 1000m. Not that big of a deal except they never told us what true distance was.
