Swim
  • 11m 50s
  • 547 yards
  • 02m 10s / 100 yards
Comments:

Still improving on swim. Improved swim from last year by over 3 minutes.
What would you do differently?:

More time in water during training. Breathe using alternating sides. Site more often. Use other people to site, not just markers.
Transition 1
  • 01m 37s
Comments:

First time with clip in shoes. Did not train long enough with them to make a dramatic impact in cycling time.
What would you do differently?:

More training time on the saddle.
Bike
  • 31m 7s
  • 10 miles
  • 19.28 mile/hr
Comments:

Could have pushed harder, but rain made me cautious as this was my first tri with clip pedals, and I was afraid to crash from wet pavement.
What would you do differently?:

Would not have scheduled 2 tri's 2 weeks apart. Hit my peak at the first one, not this one. Need at least a month between tri's for adequate recovery and additional training time.
Transition 2
  • 01m 46s
Comments:

Unclipped shoe from pedal. Did not practice leaving shoe on bike. Shoes and socks were wet from rain. Made hard to get on.
What would you do differently?:

Practice leaving shoe on bike. Bring a plastic bag to keep running shoes and socks dry. May try running without socks.
Run
  • 19m 44s
  • 3 miles
  • 06m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

Good solid run. Typical pace. Didn't kill myself, but kept pushing onward. Passed many people.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk 1 mi and stretch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cicero Triathlon 2 weeks earlier.

Event comments:

3rd time this course. Getting to be too crowded. Last year 400 people. This year, 560 people. Hard to get into park.
