Steelman Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Actual swim time was 16:00 - did first 200 in 3:18 - was shooting for 3:15 so I was pumped. Seemed to wilt a little at @550- got it back for last 100 and felt really good coming out.

Find a way to replicate open water in pool - I try not to touch walls and/or keep breathing the same but doesn't get me ready for this much straight swimming.

doing too much and not quick enough - I wear gloves (which must stop) and HRM - was frustrated that it was taking as long as it did.

Practice - my socks were with running shoes (nto bike), where to put the gel (looking for a pocket on my tri-shorts before sticking it up my leg) much room for improvement.

Feel pretty good about this ride - I think I am at the end of the line with my hybrid.

I feel like I could always push harder.

Missed the bike on initial hang but other than that pretty good

I dedicate the least amount of training to running (for injury avoidance) so I can't be anything other than accepting off this time.

build a better base earlier - I have a difficult time keeping my training runs easy early and usually pay with assorted nagging "injuries" that limits training closer to the race.

I felt the result where in line with the amount and quality of training.


My second event (the other being this race in 07) and I improved in every category with overall improvement of 2:54 so I was happy with this effort.

Need to do more races for practice of both technical and mental aspects.
