![]() Swim
Comments: No idea how I did compared to others. I passed 3 or 4 guys in the pool and felt as strong as you can only swimming 150 yards. What would you do differently?: Nothing really. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Ran into transition and saw I had some work to do. Being a smaller race the transition was super busy when I came in off the run. Grabbed my helmet, glasses, shoes and bike and got out. What would you do differently?: Nothing ![]() Bike
Comments: Smoked the bike. Running isn't my strength so I was passing a lot of people. I had just finished a very intense bike focus for the summer and it really took by bike to another level. I was constantly passing people on the course. I would catch someone and look ahead for the next.I pushed hard up the main hill on the way out and that is where I overtook a large portion of the other competitors. What would you do differently?: Use my Tri bike next year. ![]() Transition 2
![]() Run
Comments: I stink at running. I took off and was surrounded by people the whole time. I pushed it hard in the first mile and held onto the pace as long as I could. Pretty flat course on dirt and pavement. What would you do differently?: Train more for the run. Lose a few lb's. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked over and grabbed some water and oranges and waited for my wife who also finished 2nd in her age group. What limited your ability to perform faster: Run Training. More running but I was finishing up a Bike Focus for the summer. Event comments: I like this race because it's small and low key. A good way to get the juices flowing and have fun. Not exactly a knock your socks off event but I enjoyed it and will be back next year. Last updated: 2012-09-20 12:00 AM
