  • 879 yards
  • 02m 11s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swam much better; still took too many breaks, but swam freestyle the whole way. Waited a few seconds to let the wave get ahead of me and give me more room.
What would you do differently?:

Take fewer breaks and just get into a rythm and swim; Definitely low hanging fruit for a few minute improvement; More OWS practice to get even more comfortable with OW and lack of visibility
Transition 1
  • 04m 31s
Comments:

This is based on my watch, not official, since they don't time it well. Transition was pretty slow; Could definitely move a little faster
Bike
  • 1h 01m 54s
  • 16 miles
  • 15.51 mile/hr
Comments:

Good bike; took hills well and passed many people; felt pretty strong
What would you do differently?:

Maybe could have attacked the early part of the course more aggressively, but I wanted to save my legs for the Tiorti brook climb and the run
Transition 2
  • 02m 10s
Comments:

Need to be a little quicker and move more urgently
Run
  • 31m 28s
  • 3 miles
  • 10m 29s  min/mile
Comments:

Run was better than horrible run at Pawling, but still need to increase pace and push myself more.

Back started to cramp on last half of the run, which I managed with 2 walk breaks. Need to give up walk breaks for such a short run.
Post race
Event comments:

Second times the charm. This performance was much better than last week at Pawling. Swim was good and I got over the panic attacks of Pawling. Bike was really good. Run was average, but much better than Pawling.

Great race and a lot of fun. I finally felt like a real triathlete! Clear areas for improvement. West Point Tri here I come!
