just my normal dash not to be late

short swim
Swim
  • 11m 6s
  • 580 yards
  • 01m 55s / 100 yards
Comments:

I felt so much better in the swim than last year. Lessons are paying off.
What would you do differently?:

I would start further up in the pack since I was passing people. I would also swim a little harder. I could have gone faster but wanted to make sure I had enegery to finish.
Transition 1
  • 03m 52s
Bike
  • 42m 13s
  • 12.5 miles
  • 17.77 mile/hr
Comments:

HR was still up from swim. I misjudged the wind. I should have pumped harder with the wind.
What would you do differently?:

Tape some Gu to the bike. I forgot to grab some heading out of transition
Transition 2
  • 01m 52s
Run
  • 30m 52s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 09m 58s  min/mile
Comments:

HR was well above the zone the entire race.
What would you do differently?:

Still torn on this one, rather to run more or do more walk breaks. In any case, I need to tighten up this portion of my game.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and took in the festivities. Got some food and drinks, then sat down and watched people come in.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

HR was too elevated. Not enough running in my training.

Event comments:

Still one of the best events that I do. I can't wait for the HI-Fi Tri this fall.
