a couple hundred yard swim wu

  • 01m 23s / 100 yards
Comments:

Plan was to take this out slower and save some for the bike run. I felt like I was not pushing too hard - keeping breathing steady and mostly open turns to get exta air - turns out same distance as 1st race in series and lower perceived effort - I think that is a good thing
What would you do differently?:

nothing

nothing
Run

  • 1.42 miles
  • 10m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

started slowly and lo and behold - started to feel stronger as time went on - i'm pretty sure I negative splitted it but don;t know as i was not timing laps. When the 1 minute warning was given was able to push a bit -

Took 20sec off mile pace compared to last race 2 weeks ago - happy with that!
What would you do differently?:

run faster
Post race
Warm down:

walk around drink some dilute gatorade

What limited your ability to perform faster:

T1 could have been better but in long run not sure 15 sec made that big a difference - increase resistance on bike after legs warm up - push harder on run - at least today I had it in me.

Event comments:

again had fun - vols were great (Thanks Suzy!) - now just waitig for official results
