Anthracite - TriathlonOlympic

Best part of my race. Hoped for a better time, but I drafted well, and sited really well.

My time in the pool has been very light. That was a relatively easy pace, no fatigue, relied on form.

I walked from the lake to the t1 area, and wasn't really quick with my wetsuit. Walked bike out of transition as well

If this improves it will only be once I start jogging the distance from the lake to the bikes.

I had avg hr of 158, my normal power was 189, hit new highs for my 30 and 90 minute max power, weight of 219/ bf 21.7 slowed me down. I can't complain about the power or hr at all, just have to get on the diet.

Quick transition, I biked without my socks, so I put my socks on, shoes are already tied, had my hydration belt ready to go

walked the big climb, came off the mountain and had to walk jog the back half of the run. even with the walking my avg hr was 161 beats. I was letting walk recover my hr to 155 and then jogged until I saw the mid 160's


Weight and overall fitness were the big limiters

Weight. First race since spring 2009.


Wt 219.8, bf 21.5%
TSB + 12.9 going into the race, will be -21.7 tomorrow
CTL 32.7 to 39.6 tomorrow
ATL 19.8 to 61 tomorrow.

TSB was good, but I didn't workout at all this week b/c of Laguna beach vacation. Ctl dropped a few points as a result. I would prefer TSB at 6 and CTL to be maintained.
