Subject: Where do you rank in the individual sports?
In my 1st tri (Super-sprint: .25 mi, 7mi, 1.5mi) I was BOP on everything including finishing the race....I had the race director follow me in with the turn around cone.

In my 2nd tri (sprint: .5mi, 12mi, 3.1mi) I was:
Swim - FOP
Bike - MOP
Run - BOP

I just competed against myself on the same course and did almost the same thing...held the MOP/MOP/BOP

Now, I am going to focus on trying to run more to get that into the MOP grouping.

Edit: Last race was mostly MOP incl the swim, but I was sick and attribute it to how I felt.  I swim OWS with a group of people weekly and am FOP with them.

I did my only tri to date on three weeks training and a mountain bike, so I was BOP for everything...LOL. 

However, in general, my order of preference and ability is:

Run (Coming from a running background)
Bike (Getting better on it)
Swim (Still ridiculously slow but making progress)

Maybe you can give me swim lessons and in exchange I'll help you out with the running...LOL. Sealed

Run...generally FOP in my AG and BOFOP O/A

Swim...moving up into FOMOP, but really inconsistent...was in top 25% of field O/A in my first IM this summer, though

Bike...MOP if I'm lucky...and only slowly getting faster...


Congrats on the progress!

Oh, and I was talking Overall ranking.

The last race I did (sprint with a very short swim) I was...

Bottom 25 percent on the swim...
Top 20 percent on the bike...
Top 10 percent on the run...

And I came out top 15 percent overall. I love short swims.

ETA: That seems a pretty typical breakdown for me. BOP for the swim, MOP/FOMOP for bike, FOP/FOMOP for run.

Question....

So, if I placed in the top 1/3rd in my 1st tri and top 1/4th in my second (AG and OA) what does that make me?

Sprints and olys:

Swim - back of MOP
Bike - front of FOP
Run - front of FOP

HIM and IM:

Swim - back of MOP
Bike - middle of FOP
Run - ^^^ usually makes the run pretty crappy

Swim = Dead last, lol
Bike = FOP if I wasn't dead last, lol
Run = MOP

It all really depends on my form that part of the year, and what race I'm in, so many variables its hard to really put myself anywhere.  This year my best 5k was 22m ish and my worst was 29m ish.

Swim: FOP
Bike: Back of MOP
Run: FOP

I learned a very valuable lesson from my first tri season;  knowing how to bicycle and being in good shape does NOT translate into being a fast biker.  Looking back on it, I don't know why I ever made the assumption that since I could run fast, I'd be able to bike fast. All I know is that next year, I'm going to spend ALOT more time in the saddle....

Subject: RE: Where do you rank in the individual sports?

In trying to figure out what I need to work on most I don't like to use the FOP-MOP concept.  Instead, I compare myself only to those in my AG (or overall in a small race) who beat me. 

In a recent large and competitive Oly I came in 15th place in my AG.  Rather than compare myself to the 90 or 100 in my AG, I only compare myself with the top 15 finishers in the AG.  In this case I was 8th in the swim, 14th in the bike, 14th in the run.  What I can see clearly is that I really suck equally badly on the run and bike compared to those who are faster me!

In my AG/division (and overall, more or less), I am:

FOP swimmer
BOMOP biker
BOFOP runner...

THAT'S why I have put in a lot of time getting my bike better and tried to stay consistant with my swim and run.

BOP in all three, but I moved up three places and cut my time from my first race to my second.
I looked at last years results for my next race and have a good shot at FOBOP.
I have dropped almost 30 lbs and now have to race AG instead of Clyde.

Pretty much MOP for swim and bike. 
BOP for run.

I can drop 100 places overall from T2 to the end of the run.

I'm spending my winter running, running, running. 

At least I'm learning to love the run.
