Springfield, Illinois

Springfield Triathlon Club
75F / 24C
Sunny

Total Time = 1h 15m 47s
Overall Rank = 51/118
Age Group = 49-44
Age Group Rank = 2/10

Pre-race routine:

Not much of a pre-race routine, other than the standard Papa Murphy's Veggie Delight pizza. Due to enormous thunderstorms and tornados the night before, I didn't get to oil my chain like I wanted.

Event warmup:

Few laps jogging around the area

Run

25m 9s
3.11 miles
08m 05s min/mile

Comments:

The weather was hot and humid. I didn't feel like I was very limber or warmed up enough. I never really got a good, strong stride going. I felt like I was running much slower.

Transition 1

01m 5s

Comments:

I made one small error that cost me a few seconds. Then, I got behind a group that was in NO hurry to leave the transistion area. That cost me probably 15 seconds. I don't have good bike shoes or pedals yet, so I fumble to get my foot on the pedal and then into the cage.

What would you do differently?:

Get better shoes and pedals. Run faster to avoid the strollers in the transition area

Bike

49m 32s
15 miles
18.17 mile/hr

Comments:

I pretty new on the bike so I know I have alot of improving to do.

Post race

Warm down:

What?

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Athletic talent.

Event comments:

The race itself is a great one to start with. The road surface is challenging, but tolerable. The tri club that hosts this and other races in our area are fabulous organizers! I was surprised and glad that the race was chip timed.
