Started off too quickly, but got into a fairly good rhythm after a few lengths. Judging by my overall pace, it was right about my t-pace for 800M.

It's only February so the swim fitness wasn't there. I still felt good and am really happy with today.

Everyone had 10 minutes to get to the spin room.

The tension on the spin bike was too easy, but you could not change it. My main goal was to keep the cadence high (which I did), and not overdo it. Did I really bike 22.4MPH, probably not, but I wouldn't doubt that I would have exceeded 20mph on a real course.

I should have moved the seat forward as it was in an uncomfortable position. Being the stubborn guy that I am, I preferred to leave it rather than waste time.

You were given 5 minutes to get to the treadmills. Had to run up the stairs.

This is what confuses me. I know I"m not a fast runner, but there's no way I was running 11 min miles. I've kept just under 10 min/mile paces in my 10k's during olympic races, and I guarantee I was moving more quickly today.

Enough whining already, lol. Kept a steady pace for the first 15 min and then stepped it up. Overall I think I may have pushed too hard, but it was only 20 min.

Be a better runner :)

Hung around and ate a muffin and some other tasty bar things they had there. Talked with a few people and did some stretching. They were giving out massages, but the line was long and I didn't think I needed it after only 60 minutes of working out.


It's February, I'm slow, haha.


I'm really happy that I decided to do this race, and I definitely want to sign up for the next one in April. The LTF complex is beautiful, the volunteers were great, and the RD was an awesome guy who made the effort to talk to a ton of people. I know some people don't like to do indoor tri's as they aren't really true triathlons, but it's definitely a great way to break up the monotony (sp?) of winter. It felt great to be back in competition too.
