Swim
Comments: Swam pretty well, although we had to navigate through the slower oly swimmers finishing their 2nd lap. Did pretty good for having to do a lot of sighting not to run into people. Transition 1
Comments: Quick for me Bike
Comments: Took me the better part of 10min to get anywhere near FTP. I don't quite know how people hit an IF of 1.05 on rolling courses. Anyway, thought I biked OK. Turns out (based on my relative split) that I biked really well. What would you do differently?: I have the course at 11.4 mi Transition 2
Comments: Quick T2 for me Run
Comments: Underperformed just a little bit on the run. Thankfully a 16 yr old ran me down 1 mi in. I grabbed his heels for the remainder of the run. Passed one 2 people and the rest of it felt like it was just me and him. He nailed it to the finish, I coasted in... What would you do differently?: Check my HR. I was 3-4 bpm lower that my normal threshold for this distance run. That translates into 20-30s over 3 miles for me. Post race
Warm down: Walk a bit. Cheer on Pete and Carl doing the oly What limited your ability to perform faster: Not much. Maybe practice some swim to bike bricks. I'm not executing my sprint bikes very well. Event comments: Still love this race despite the rough roads. Might do the oly next year. It was great to meet Pete and Carl from BT and see them perform very well! Last updated: 2012-08-21 12:00 AM
