Swim
Comments: I had a goal of under 5 min for this course. All my training I should have easily hit this. First problem was i didnt get a front line spot and started behind someone. Gun went off and I had a hard time getting around this person. once past I was ok, rounded buoy and hit the back of the wave in front of me. I literraly had to stand up and push some people out of the way to get around. Just hit a wall of people. What would you do differently?: Once i rounded the buoy i should have looked more often and could have avoided the group of people that made me stand up. --- in the pool i consistently hit 1:35m per 100m, need to translate into race Transition 1
Comments: Overall good transition, long run from swim exit to transition area What would you do differently?: nothing Bike
Comments: Felt really good on the course, starts off with slight uphill then nice rollers and shaded, then make turn on back side and begin the gradual ride up the hills. I struggled a little on the back side for some reason, normally i feel really strong on the hills and i had to push myself to keep a decent pace. Basically I can divide the ride into 3 segments, strong/struggled/strong. finsihed last few miles strong. What would you do differently?: Felt on this course I should have averaged 21.5 mph, just goes to show myself that need a little more work. Just felt a little flat right in the middle of the bike Transition 2
Comments: Overall good t2, took a few extra seconds to put on # belt as missed the hole initially What would you do differently?: none Run
Comments: This run felt good, took first few minutes to get legs under me then settled into nice pace. Never felt like i had to push myself really hard. Ideally would like to be close to this pace for captex - oly in a few weeks. What would you do differently?: Nothing, all my bricks and running is really paying off. My run is feeling really stron Post race
Warm down: Hung out at race with Mike and Charles. Also got in a free ART session with Dr Z. What limited your ability to perform faster: Ok swim, ok bike, strong run. I know my bike is stronger than this. Need to work in some more speed drills Event comments: Jack and Adams always do a great job with the races they host. Definate must and a good way to start the season Last updated: 2007-01-22 12:00 AM
