Concreteman 2013 - Triathlon

My worst competitve OWS. I had bad sighting; my form was bad; breathing was bad; my head was not into it; seem to be breathing harder and struggling more than usual. Very slow pace for me.

Need to do a warm-up swim and/or other warm ups.

I need to work on my sighting; proper form; and breathing n OWS. More OWS practice. I need to stress myself during training in order to be better prepared.

Need to do a warm-up swim and/or other warm ups.

Transition was slow. I struggled to get my nutrion in the back of my tri suit. Lost about 10 to 15 seconds there.

Running and jumping on bike went well. I took awhile to get into my shoes fully; had problems with tongue of shoes. Need to work on getting up to and maintaining speed while getting into shoes. I also had a rubber band not break. Need to work on this.

Nothing

I was very pleased with this bike time; especially considering the amount of hills. I worked the up and downhills very well. I could not have pushed any harder. Doing weekly hill workouts really helped.

During the last 1/2 mile, I lowered my gear and spun my legs...I feel this helped my run.

Not much

Overall, a pretty good transition. The only exception is I started running the run away. Probably lost 5 to 10 seconds there.

Not much

I was hoping for sub 8 min/mile; accomplished that. I felt strong at the end; indicating I could have pushed harder. Past an age grouper at the mile turnaround! That felt good!

Push a bit harder

Didnt stretch; should have! Ate a lot of pancakes!


My first podium! 2nd in my age group! Granted, there were only 10 in my age group, but a podium none-the-less!
