Disco Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

My plan was to go easier than I have before in a race. Never felt out of sorts. Had the same energy at the end as I did at the beginning.

Nothing.

Didn't have any issues. Jogged from the beach up to T1 and found my bike rather easily.

Move transition closer to where I exited the water?

I wanted to see if I could keep a higher cadence (90) in a harder gear (thus increasing my speed by 1/2 to 1 full mile). Success! HR stayed around 146. Passed a dozen or so riders and was passed by some seriously fast disc wheeled whipper snappers (i.e. M20-24 and M25-29). Ok, some F30-34 might have been in that mix as well...lol)

Nothing. I avg'd 21.1 for 23 miles...

better at putting on socks. Since it was wet during the ride, I decided against going sockless. I did get a little confused as to where the actual exit for the run was. Had to get "directions" from my girlfriend. ha ha.

nothing. 1 min for transition for a non Podium dude was ok by me.

great run for me. My goal was to maintain a 9:00 min pace. Almost hit that mark. Walked the aid stations to drink water. Did something different this time. After drinking the ICE water...I poured the ice into my hands and chewed on the ice.

maybe skip walking one of the aid stations in order to get under 9:00 min/miles.

waited for Chris to finish and waited for more pizza to be delivered. Talked with jcagg90 (John), Tim, Steve, Marci, Chris, Gary, Bonnie, Sabrina, et. al. Spent time with my girlfriend (Angie) who once again proved to be the biggest supporter for me! She always tells me how good I will do, and I've yet to disappoint her (or me)...lol.


Who am I kidding. I shaved 40 (yes, 40) minutes off my last Oly time (Toyota U.S. Open, Oct. 07). Guess I'm improving. lol.


nice race. If Texasman is this same course, it might be something for me to do and see if I can better my time. Plus, I don't have a Sept. race on my schedule as of yet.
