Lake Chaparral Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

I think this was a really good swim. I didn't veer around as much with not a whole lot of sighting. Drafting was much better as this race had more guys my speed.

Put in a touch more effort. Not counting the first bit while my HR got up, I was about 122-129 and it's as flat as a board.

Took a bit more time to dry off and spray the sunblock on. 10-20 seconds doesn't matter to me yet.


Pedal harder with the feet on top before putting them in shoes.

I still don't know if I'm pushing hard enough. I felt I could have done more laps which I guess means I was ok, but I still sucked hard at the run compared to my 10k only races which means I obviously was drained at least somewhat.

Refilled my aerodrink right at the midway point, and took a gel shortly after.


Not much. Maybe pull back a touch for more juice on the run?

Took a few extra seconds to have some more water, breathe a bit before bolting off.


Nothing.

HR wouldn't stay down, just lack of mileage obviously. I will have to focus on running over the winter. I suspect all the climbing in the bike took it's toll on the run energy left as opposed to my last race which was pretty much flat.



Work on the running mileage. Also will try some 3-1 water/gatorade mix for the next few runs and see how that goes.

Training.



It just takes so long to get to the food/awards due to start times and straggler participants. I don't want to leave early but pushing into 3-4 o'clock from getting up at 6 is a bit of a stretch.

Race definately has more hardcores than the Coral Springs. I believe this is a qualifying race for worlds or something.
