Pigman Triathlon - Sprint - TriathlonSprint

swam a comfortable pace, right on target as planned

nohing

run to transition was good, wet suit came off ok, but feet were too wet and bike shoes did not come on fast enough, fumbled with helmet, took forever to put on gloves, then ran with bike ok

dont fumble around with gear

rode hard but I guess I could have taken the hills harder then I did, they brought my average speed down considerably

ride the hills harder

this transition felt better, ran out feeling good

nothing

first mile felt good, passed a 2 or three clydes that were ahead of me on the bike, then started to feel the heat a bit on mile two, slowed down, was kinda bummed when I realized that I was not running sub 8 miles, picked it up on last mile, finished feeling strong, wished the run was longer so that I could have had more time to catch one more guy in front of me in my age group (he was less then a minute ahead of me)

run faster, i did not push it to the max, perhaps I was already thinking about the half-ironman coming up next Sunday.

dumped two cups of water over me, and realized that I was hot, i should have taken advantage of the water on the course to cool down as I was running


I think it was the heat that snuck up on me as i was running


Today was a monumental day, the Pigman Sprint 2006 was my first triathlon ever. Two years ago I finished it in 1hr 48 minutes, bottom 10 of the clydesdales. Now two years later 1hr 28min, top ten of the clydesdales. Today I also beat my fastest sprint triathlon time to date by 12 minutes. Next weekend half-ironman, bring it on!!!
