Subject: RE: T3 Spring training 2013 - ClosedOk the first race is in the books! It was a bit chilly, soaking wet and shorter than expected but I had a blast and compared to my avg. training paces I did very well. 300m swim: 6:26 T1: 5:25 (about a 50m run from pool to transition and everything was soaking wet / temps were low so had to put on more clothing. Bike: 10.84 miles @ 40:58 Had 3 looong hard hills in the first half. Overall a very fun route. I lost some time trying to eat my darn energy chews ... was wet so was a bit precautious. My avg. speed was almost 16 mph which is great for me. I felt very good on the bike. T2: 2:14 ... once again everything soaking wet ... had to pull off wet cycling gear / slosh on my running shoes. Learning experience. Run: 28:47 (2.46 miles / advertised as 3.14 ugh) Okay I was pretty damn pissed that the run was sub 5k. I was running a great pace and had a surge of energy about the 2 mile mark only to find that when I hit a good home stretch stride it was over. Had some trouble in the first mile due to cold / numb / wet feet but by 1.25 miles I was doing well. Pretty flat coarse. My avg pace was 11:46 mile and my last mile I would have hit 11 or sub 11 which is great for me. Chip time was 1 hour 23 minutes and change. My 1:50 goal doesnt apply because of the short run; however, at the pace I was running I would have been around 1:30 ish so I am very happy with it. I had a great time. I passed a few in the pool, I passed a lot on the bike, but was passed in the run by a ton of people. Edited by Firemedic623 2013-03-24 6:19 PM
