Swim
Comments: jumped in about 10th person in the water got right behind the two people in front of me and drafted as long as I could until I lost them about half way through. I stayed strong and had a great swim considering I haven't swam much at all this year I'll take it 18/193. What would you do differently?: nothing that was all I had Transition 1
Comments: could not run barefoot without a lot of pain had to speed walk T1 What would you do differently?: nothing with foot pain I just can't run barefoot at all let alone with shoes on. Bike
Comments: the bike split included a 50-75 yard run with your bike out of transition and back into transition, this killed me I can not run barefoot right now, I lost at least :45 seconds here. I felt very strong on the bike today,I did not sweat bad breathing was controlled just in a nice zone. The course was good only about a 1.5 mile strech of semi-rough area and the 2 train tracks that you had to slow to around 10mph but the rest was smooth and fast What would you do differently?: nothing great bike for lack of training right now Transition 2
Comments: had to walk again until I got my shoes on What would you do differently?: nothing fast as I could go with a bad foot Run
Comments: I went into this race planning to walk since I have not run in 2 weeks do to foot pain. The 1st 1/2 mile was 9/10 on the pain scale and I just about stopped, but the guy in front of me started walking and he was in my age group, so there was no way I was giving up 1st place and decided to deal with it. As a popular song says what doesn't kill you makes you stronger I pushed on, I did not wear a watch and ran a fast as I could without making the foot hurt worst. I was suprised I averaged 7:17's it really felt like 7:40 or more pace, I just felt strong all day. What would you do differently?: nothing fix my foot, I gave away at least 1:30 on the run due to pain I believe I could have averaged at least 6:50 a mile today Post race
Warm down: sat down got off my foot and waited for awards What limited your ability to perform faster: foot injury Event comments: Great first race course was nice and I like the time trial start. Will be back had a great time today Last updated: 2012-06-04 12:00 AM
