 Swim
Comments: Felt comfortable in the water, breathing, strokes...............all even and smooth. Was confident going into the swim with the time I put into the pool early this season - LOTS more work to do though What would you do differently?: Extremely disappointed in my swim time considering the time that I put in - but pleased with how well/comfortable I felt in the water. That is a HUGE step for me! Maybe I was a little too comfortable/smooth? I really didn't push on the swim thinking about facing that WINDY bike coming up - stop worrying about conserving energy and just let it rip! Trust the training time put in.  Transition 1
Comments: Pretty good T1 for me - didn't struggle too much with putting the Garmin on - that prob cost me 5-6 secs, so, I would have been sub 1 min. What would you do differently?: Not sure yet - still working out the transition kinks............there is an art to it, I'm sure. I'm just not a very good artist! lol  Bike
Comments: Again................extremely disappointed with my lack of effort here. I am faster/stonger than this and not sure why I chose to "leave it on the table" so to speak. Thinking again I was in the mode of conserving more than pushing due to the conditions and being concerned I wouldn't have anything left for the run. What would you do differently?: First thing - probably would remove the disc on the rear - was a liablity for me - not strong enough at this point to handle the wind and a parachute! Secondly...................freakin push and stop worrying - let my training do the talking! Transition 2
Comments: Again - work in progress here, but about the only thing I did right all day. haha Dismounted while leaving my shoes clipped in - that was kinda cool! I looked like I knew what I was doing. haha What would you do differently?: Again, no sure - just get a little more efficient, I guess.  Run
Comments: ehh - 9:18 is about the pace I do my training runs at for distance - my 5k pace is around 8:30 min, so after the bike - about what I expected. Not sure I'll ever be a "fast" runner - just striving to be "faster" at this point! What would you do differently?: again................maybe push a little more. Tank was not on "E" at the finish. I lost my time on swim and bike................no question. Post race
Warm down: Walked around - waited for Monica to come in on the bike, so I missed Bob and Nick's finish :o( Tore down transition - at Subway, had a soda and water. Cheered in other competitors and Monica on the run. What limited your ability to perform faster: POOR RACE STRETEGY! plain and simple! Event comments: Great race - just wish I could have put on a better showing. Gives me a reason to come back next year! Well, would have come back regardless! haha Last updated: 2009-01-16 12:00 AM

Member 6 Terre Haute | Subject: RE: Sullivan Civic Center Triathlon Good job on just getting through that one! I'd say you are more of an artist that I am with transitions, I still have stick figures  |
