Swim

  • 880 yards
  • 01m 45s / 100 yards
Comments:

Thought I'd be faster this year than last. Apparently not. I paced fine and finished with a group of people in wave, so that was good. Only got overtaken by a couple of swimmers in the group behind me. Was the swim a bit longer this year...?
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Transition 1
  • 02m 1s
Comments:

I'm really slow in T1. I take the time to wipe my feet, put on socks...Slow.
What would you do differently?:

I need to practice these. Possibly learn to transition with my shoes in the pedals, although I'm afraid I'll take a spill doing so.
Bike

  • 14 miles
  • 22.11 mile/hr
Comments:

Ride it like you stole right? Felt great. I think I gave it just the right level of effort with enough left in the tank to post a good run.
Transition 2
  • 00m 58s
Comments:

Did fine here. Stopped to take a quick drink.
What would you do differently?:

Not too much.
Run
  • 22m 6s
  • 3 miles
  • 07m 22s  min/mile
Comments:

I'm always a bit slow getting my feet under me in these short runs. I definitely sped up through the last two miles once I got the breathing under control. The one hill on the course is in a sinister area (for me)...only about 1/3 mile into the run.
What would you do differently?:

Not too much. I'd like to be faster, but the IM training I've been doing doesn't really lend itself to this.
Post race
Warm down:

None. Had to go play a soccer game immediately after.

Event comments:

Enjoyed this race. I hope to continue improving and maybe be a contender next year in my age group.
