Pearland, Texas
United States

Total Time = 1h 09m 54s
Overall Rank = 222/461
Age Group = CLYDES
Age Group Rank = 8/25

Pre-race routine:

Had a Clif Bar and some water, checked the weather and left for the race.

Swim

09m 58s
437 yards
02m 17s / 100 yards

Comments:

I came out of the water and my watch read 9:19. I guess it took me too long to cross the mat. I got hammered more in this swim than I have it a couple of years. I got hit by one guy on the back of the head 5 times. I had enough and elbowed him and shoved him over. I don't know maybe I am nice but if I hit someone I try and move a bit so I won't do it again.

What would you do differently?:

Start in the front I can swim fast enough now and it would avoid the mess I was in. I could have gone harder on the swim maybe but the 9:19 would put me at 2:08 per hundred which is my normal speed.

Transition 1

02m 12s

Comments:

Went well I just need to be quicker getting my socks and shoes on.

Bike

29m 48s
10 miles
20.13 mile/hr

Comments:

I felt good on the bike. I got caught in the no pass zone and it hurt my speed. I think my speed was 15mph. I could have come out of the turns harder and will next time. I thought I would end up with a 21 mph speed oh well.

Transition 2

01m 12s

Comments:

It was good.

Run

26m 44s
3 miles
08m 55s min/mile

Comments:

The run went well. It is my first run with an average under 9 mins a mile.

Good job Big Jim! LOL...I should have thrown a few elbows too but I raced in my AG so those little dudes might have sunk if I did.
Good luck at IM CDA!
