Swim

  • 400 yards
  • 02m 05s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim felt good.
What would you do differently?:

Push a little harder. Faded at Sullivan and it slowed me down. I think was a little too worried about running out of gas.
Transition 1
  • 02m 19s
Comments:

My T1 is horrible. Need to make some changes. Maybe I will start swimming with my shoes already on. LOL
What would you do differently?:

Get some speed laces and maybe a pair of Zoots for the sprints.
Bike
  • 40m 53s
  • 13.5 miles
  • 19.81 mile/hr
Comments:

Was not happy with my bike. Looking back I know I could have pushed harder. Heading out I didnt realize there was a tailwind so I did not take advantage of it so coming back in the head wind really hurt my time.
What would you do differently?:

Train harder so I can push harder in races.
Transition 2
  • 00m 38s
Comments:

This somewhat made up for my T1 but not enough.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Run
  • 25m 37s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 14s  min/mile
Comments:

Too much gas in the tank at the end. Probably could have pushed harder throughout. At the end I had a good boost but should have started it with about .5 - .75 mile to go.
What would you do differently?:

Push a harder pace throughout and suck it up and start kick with at least .5 to go.
