4th Annual YMCA Indoor Triathlon - Triathlon

There were very disparate swim levels both in my wave and in the race overall. I was in lane 4, lane 3 was empty, and the I lapped the swimmer in lane 5 every 150. One guy went 1350, a couple people went 1175, maybe a few more went 1150 like me and it went down from there.

nothing, was a pretty good swim for me at this point in the year

Time for this was subtracted from the 20 min that you were allowed to bike. Toweled off some, headed out through the locker room to the hall T zone, put on socks and shoes and to the bike.

Learn how to go without socks and get some speedlaces or similar for my shoes

Oh boy. I have a lot of work to do on biking in the next 55 days before St A's and 76 before FL 70.3.

Push harder, not take 5 months off the bike and then only do zone 1-2 training before trying to do a hard short effort

Stationary bike to treadmill, was part of the 20 min allowed for the run

nothing

Didn't push as hard as I should have/can. Didn't even hit LT HR and ave HR was zone 3. Not exactly what should be done for a 20 min 'race' effort.

Do more biking and bricks.

Never having done this type of race before and being more of a long course specialist, I'm not very good at all out short efforts. I tend to hold too much in reserve. Within minutes of finishing I could have done the whole thing all over again and done better. Yeah, not quite the right effort level.


Would recommend this race. The people that put it on will be doing more races later this year- if interested look at Kennebunk Beach Tri Club.
