Swim
Transition 1
Bike
What would you do differently?: Didn't push too hard - wanted a good time, but wanted to have a good run. Most bike training has been distance - less than 10% of time on tri bike, and only a handful of bricks - probably need to do more of each Transition 2
Comments: Developed beginnings of a blister early in the week - had to add socks - which probably added 30 secs or so - but necessary! Run
Comments: Saw my son coming back from turnaround (he had started 15 minutes ahead) - wanted to catch him on the run - never saw him so was bummed. Turned out he had to answer the call of nature - so I passed right by him What would you do differently?: As mentioned above - probably a few more transition runs or bricks - but was happy with sub 8/s for the run Post race
Warm down: Walking; 3 Recharges, water and a banana (The recharge isn't bad after the race - but during is a different story!) 3 mile jog to keep legs fresh; ice bath What limited your ability to perform faster: Swim is still weakest leg - but could have picked up a little time in the bike segment. I know my bike is part of the issue (my road bike is much better than the one I use for Tris) - but I wasn't sure if I'd like this sport - so didn't put much into the bike. That will change. Transition runs and bricks would have helped Event comments: Capri Events puts on a good race. Yes - the access roads were bad, but that's the city, not Capri Events. My hometown race basically - 10 minutes to the course - so I'll probably keep trying to find this race on my schedule! Last updated: 2009-07-13 12:00 AM
