Yeah I had a good run time, ok bike and the swim I kept meaning to get back to the pool, that 400 was done at the end of a 2700M swim so not my best but just kept forgetting to get it in.

SSMinnow - 2010-06-15 9:57 AM Tracy--you have such a good looking family....wow! Very cool to see you all together for an event.

George-what are the losers members of the second plae team supposed to do? I thought Tony was just going to post it in his signature line for 6 months or so like the last time

I'm not up for any additional Fall events.  LV will be my focus after September 13th!

Mett - 2010-06-15 10:21 AM I need some recommendations for a good playlist while running/biking. I am in to really any type of music.

jvanis - 2010-06-15 10:12 AM I am going to take a moment and communicate goals for my next race on the 27th.  I seem to do better when I let my goals be known.

Background: Did this as my second race last year and learned a lot.  The swim, big chop along the lines of 2.5 ft white caps.  Certified USAT course, so I know distances are accurate.  The swim got cut to 1/4 mile for AG'rs, it was a whole new experience for me.  There were 20 MPH winds in our face as we went out, which happens to be where all the climbs are, and its pretty hilly.  The way back in was nice to cruise.  The run was quite warm, borderline hot with a lot of up and down, very few flats. 

14 Jeff Vanis         Apple Valley   MN  26 M   11  9:15  2:06    2:41   16 1:07:13  17.9    0:50   17   37:49  9:28 1:57:45 

So my goals for this year:
Swim (1/2 mile):  15 minute swim, yes it only puts me at 1:50/100, but I am planning for chop, I have never been on the lake when it wasn't fairly rough.

<1:30 T1

Bike(20 Miles): 21 MPH average(57:08), but more concerned that my power comes out to 240.  I am going to push hard on the bike,and if my run suffers, then it will be what it is, but it will give me a better estimate of what I can race.

<1:00 T2

Run(4 Miles): 7:15/mile = 29 minutes total

Overall: 1:43:38 (With ideals going below 1:40)

Hope to make this a race I can hit the podium on, then again it all depends who shows up that day, but I needed to talk through numbers and communicate it out.  After getting through the MS150 this weekend, I think I cleared a mental hurdle that should help in racing and being able to push a bit harder.

Thanks for listening to me ramble off my goals!

The sound of nature/cars on the bike. It is dangerous to have music on while riding period.
