![]() Swim
Comments: Under trained swim significantly. Swim was last event in sprint, and did not feel fully prepared for swim. What would you do differently?: Improve training in the swim. ![]() Transition 1
![]() Bike
Comments: Bike event was good for first triathlon. Only put 60 miles on bike before race. Need to improve, but that will come as I put more miles on bike. I was caught by 2 racers, they were experienced triathletes, but it was good b/c it helped my pace. What would you do differently?: Continue training and don't come into the T2 as hard as I did. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: If need a little extra time to catch breath, take it. What would you do differently?: Improve pace coming into T2. ![]() Run
Comments: Felt great during run, finished second in my heat. Pace was around 7:15/mile and I could have gone harder. What would you do differently?: Nothing, but know what to expect with more upcoming tris. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Hydrate, replenish calories and stretch. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training on bike and swim. Event comments: Overall, I am very pleased with my effort. It turns out I finished 53rd overall and took 2nd place in my age division (25-29). Very excited about the results. Could have been better, but I feel I did not train as well as I should have. Transitions went smooth, I'm glad to have my first race trans out of the way. Last updated: 2004-08-04 12:00 AM
