Sullivan Civic Center Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Felt comfortable in the water, breathing, strokes...............all even and smooth. Was confident going into the swim with the time I put into the pool early this season - LOTS more work to do though

Extremely disappointed in my swim time considering the time that I put in - but pleased with how well/comfortable I felt in the water. That is a HUGE step for me! Maybe I was a little too comfortable/smooth? I really didn't push on the swim thinking about facing that WINDY bike coming up - stop worrying about conserving energy and just let it rip! Trust the training time put in.

Pretty good T1 for me - didn't struggle too much with putting the Garmin on - that prob cost me 5-6 secs, so, I would have been sub 1 min.

Not sure yet - still working out the transition kinks............there is an art to it, I'm sure. I'm just not a very good artist! lol

Again................extremely disappointed with my lack of effort here. I am faster/stonger than this and not sure why I chose to "leave it on the table" so to speak. Thinking again I was in the mode of conserving more than pushing due to the conditions and being concerned I wouldn't have anything left for the run.

First thing - probably would remove the disc on the rear - was a liablity for me - not strong enough at this point to handle the wind and a parachute! Secondly...................freakin push and stop worrying - let my training do the talking!

Again - work in progress here, but about the only thing I did right all day. haha Dismounted while leaving my shoes clipped in - that was kinda cool! I looked like I knew what I was doing. haha

Again, no sure - just get a little more efficient, I guess.

ehh - 9:18 is about the pace I do my training runs at for distance - my 5k pace is around 8:30 min, so after the bike - about what I expected. Not sure I'll ever be a "fast" runner - just striving to be "faster" at this point!

again................maybe push a little more. Tank was not on "E" at the finish. I lost my time on swim and bike................no question.

Walked around - waited for Monica to come in on the bike, so I missed Bob and Nick's finish :o( Tore down transition - at Subway, had a soda and water. Cheered in other competitors and Monica on the run.


POOR RACE STRETEGY! plain and simple!


Great race - just wish I could have put on a better showing. Gives me a reason to come back next year! Well, would have come back regardless! haha
