14th Annual Long Island Gold Coast Triathlon & Relay - Triathlon

I was in the second to lastwave and notice the current pushing evryone to the left. So I started to the right and hit the first bouy dead on and rounded it with ease. Made it to the second bouy and turned in. This is where I went off course a bit and ended up off to the right of the exit. I believe this cost me some time because I felt good on the swim and thought my time might be better.

Sight better on the way in. I felt strong the entire swim and never felt like I was struggling.

Went with the shoes clipped in. 38th overall. 1st in my AG.

I need to pratice getting into my shoes some more.

Pushed hard on the bike, I know my fitness is not there since I haven't really been riding as much as I should. I was pushing over 20 mph on all the flat sections. The course was very crowded since I was in a later wave and there is also a Duathlon that goes on during the tri.

Ride more!!!

Flying dismount an into T2

Nothing. 74th overall. 3rd in my AG.

Came out of transition and I knew I had to put it in high gear. Someone from my age group passed me about a half mile into the run. I kept right on his shoulder the whole way. I felt strong the entire run with about a half mile left I passed him and headed into the finish.

Nothing

Had some water and a few bannanas and drove home to see the family.


Lack of focus on riding my bike during training.


This is the 4th year I have done this race. They updated the run course which was much better than the past three years. I just did this to get another race in. I know if I work hard on the bike I can compete for an AG slot. This is a great race for first timers.
