Pre-Race Predictions as of July 6th, 2006:

S= 28'
T1= 3'
B= 1h 8'
T2= 3'
R= 43'

Ttl= 2 hours 25 minutes (2:25)

The above would have me top 4 or 5 in age group based on last years race.

Event warmup:

5' of swimming after getting into my wetsuit. A few leg kicks to get my heart rate up a tad...
Swim
  • 28m 45s
  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 45s / 100 yards
Comments:

The swim time included a VERY long run to T-1, and picked up the time when leaving on the bike. The run and T-1 probably were close to 5 minutes. The swim went well...I seeded my self towards the front and held my own on this swim...
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

I had a great transition, but the way they did the timing, T-1 was included in the swim time...
What would you do differently?:

Not a dang thing
Bike
  • 1h 10m 17s
  • 24.85 miles
  • 21.21 mile/hr
Comments:

I hammered the bike...the bike time includes T-2 time as well....I averaged over 22 MPH on the bike.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

T2 was blazing fast...had my feet out of the bike shoes 200 meters before T2, popped off the bike and was out running very quickly...
Run
  • 44m 45s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 07m 13s  min/mile
Comments:

I did not go as hard as possible on the run....I went hard, but not full throttle.
What would you do differently?:

I perhaps was a little slower on the run after my hard bike...not sure.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Warm Weather...Lack of "killer instinct" and being willing to suffer more...

Event comments:

This was a great tune up race for Ironman. The intensity of an Olympic distance provided a terrific workout, and I love the race day atmosphere and vibe...ONE MORE RACE IN THE 45-49 YEAR OLD AGE GROUP....ON AUGUST 14TH I AM OFFICIALLY AGING UP TO 50-54....THOSE OLD GUYS HAD BETTER BE READY FOR LAR DOG....CAUSE HE'S A COMIN....AND FAST!!!
