 Swim
Comments: swam a comfortable pace, right on target as planned What would you do differently?: nohing  Transition 1
Comments: run to transition was good, wet suit came off ok, but feet were too wet and bike shoes did not come on fast enough, fumbled with helmet, took forever to put on gloves, then ran with bike ok What would you do differently?: dont fumble around with gear  Bike
Comments: rode hard but I guess I could have taken the hills harder then I did, they brought my average speed down considerably What would you do differently?: ride the hills harder Transition 2
Comments: this transition felt better, ran out feeling good What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: first mile felt good, passed a 2 or three clydes that were ahead of me on the bike, then started to feel the heat a bit on mile two, slowed down, was kinda bummed when I realized that I was not running sub 8 miles, picked it up on last mile, finished feeling strong, wished the run was longer so that I could have had more time to catch one more guy in front of me in my age group (he was less then a minute ahead of me) What would you do differently?: run faster, i did not push it to the max, perhaps I was already thinking about the half-ironman coming up next Sunday. Post race
Warm down: dumped two cups of water over me, and realized that I was hot, i should have taken advantage of the water on the course to cool down as I was running What limited your ability to perform faster: I think it was the heat that snuck up on me as i was running Event comments: Today was a monumental day, the Pigman Sprint 2006 was my first triathlon ever. Two years ago I finished it in 1hr 48 minutes, bottom 10 of the clydesdales. Now two years later 1hr 28min, top ten of the clydesdales. Today I also beat my fastest sprint triathlon time to date by 12 minutes. Next weekend half-ironman, bring it on!!! Last updated: 2008-02-10 12:00 AM

Veteran 171 Jacksonville | Subject: --- Photos coming soon, I forgot to mention that I was on a club team, the Cutthroats. Six people who I work with and trained with for past 5 months, everyone did awesome!! Andrew "Hoobs" got 5th in AG with a screaming 1hr 14 Sean "Ex mountain biker" Rocked his first triathlon in 1hr29 Jenny "I only trained a month for this" also slammed her first triathlon and placed 5th in her AG John "the BOSS" killed the bike riding for the first time ever on aero bars (thats right, he picked up the bike yesterday, rode it around his yard, and then showed up with it this morning) on a borrowed Cervelo P3 ...that was one sweet tire, trispoke HED/HED Disk. Mary "Get Outta My Way" set a new PR and the Team averaged 1hr29min overall, sixth place, and setting a new PR for the Cutthroats! |
