Swim
Comments: seeded swim. first 50m was brutal - put my swim time in as 9' - and people were hesitant to let you move up in line to go. Past 3 people within first 75m and then I was able to get into a rhythm. 7:33 is a PR for a race time. Had a leaky goggle that I was fixing every 50m towards the end. Transition 1
Comments: too slow. fulled around with arm warmers, for a few seconds, finally said the heck with them and didn't need them. could have been a little quicker here. Bike
Comments: a head wind on way out and right after turn around. But it was at my back too. good ride, the long hill got me, could have been a bit quicker up. But, PR on the ride for a race as well. Transition 2
Comments: pretty quick through T2. shoes were off and on quickly. Run
Comments: first s/b/r race, so I took it a bit easy on run to start. stomach was sloshing around so didn't want to get sick. Once I got going, felt better and ran a faster mile 2 and 3. Slower than I was hoping for on the run, but happy with results. What would you do differently?: need to run a bit more, more long runs and add some faster runs in there as well. Post race
Event comments: a fun time. enjoyed getting out and racing again. can't believe I was 12/13 in my age group. the run killed me in the group but swim/bike was pretty competitive. fun to watch my wife and daughter compete on a team as well! May just have to move to team tri and have my daughter run for me - as she hammered out a 28:18 run. AMAZING! Last updated: 2012-01-31 12:00 AM
