Guelph Lake II Triathlon - Olympic Distance - TriathlonOlympic

Overall my swim was good I was happy with it, my time was a little bit slower that GL1. But I felt much more comfortable and more relaxed in the water. We had two waves go off 10 min's apart. I was in the 1st wave. When the horn went off I did not rush into the water I took my time I was one of the last people in the water. I went to the left side away from most of the swimmers. For the 1st 500m I don't think that I was touch by another swimmer. I was under control the whole time my pace was good. I lost some time because I went to the left and took my time getting into the water.

Not much maybe get into the water faster.

Left my shoes on the bike, had a hard time getting my right foot into my shoe.

Get my wetsuit off faster.

My ride went not bad, did not have big hopes for my ride, if I could shave a few min's off I would have been happy with that. When I got on my bike I lost some time trying to get my feet into my shoes. Overall I thought that my ride went well but my time was abit slower. But the rest of the feild was a little slower too. The cold and the wind played a factor in the times.

More training.

Good T2 everyting went well.

Nothing

Nothing left for the run. When I came out of T2 I stopped and went pee.
I lost .55 sec or so. Not a good start to my run. I was not ready for the run. For the whole race I was alternating walking and running.
The only thing that was good about the run was at the end, I had less than 1 km to go to the finish, someone in my age group passed me before we went up the last hill. I said to myself that I have to beat him to the finish, by time I got to the top of the hill I passed him. But I knew that he was right behide me and waiting to make his move. About 200m to go there were a few other people in front of me, I also wanted to pass them. I passed two of them going into the last turn, and then the guy behind me made his move, he took off. We had a full out sprint to the finish line. I beat him by 1 sec to the finish, it was great. My highlight of the day.

More training and better conditioning, with hill and track workouts

Nothing. Burned Cals 2044


Training, not ready for this race.


Not a very good day. Was not ready for this race, the last few weeks of training did not go as planned. My conditioning was not there. That's it for this year the season is over. I will take at least a mth off.
Until I can get my run under control and bike avg over 30km, I think that I'm going to hold off on Olympic races. In the off season I need to find a good training program for me.
