 Swim
Comments: When I jumped in, I nearly lost my HR strap, had to stop and put it back on After that it went okay, felt a few times like slowly loosing it I guess it is better to put it on in T1 without wet suit What would you do differently?: Leave HR strap in T  Transition 1
Comments: No 3 out of 7 Clydes Had 1 gel and a bit of Heed What would you do differently?: I need to start practicing leaving my shoes on the bike  Bike
Comments: The wind felt pretty bad, as the course was so flat Used my Trek 1000 without aero bars After all the miles of the last few weeks without aeorbars I got used to that Had approx 18mph avg on my way out, the way back was fun Had one bottle of Heed What would you do differently?: Cant wait for my new bike! Transition 2
Comments: Was no 4 out of 7 Clydes Had 1 gel and a bit of Heed What would you do differently?: Maybe I should start and take the gel with me on the run  Run
Comments: I started out with a 8:30 pace, hoping that later in the run I would be able to push harder, but rather I got slower by the mile... The heat was pretty immense (by the time of the run it must have been 80+), but in comparison I seemed to have dealt with that better than others, pretty unusual that I would be around the middle of the field in the 35-39 AG Mile splits 8:24, 167 8:33, 170 8:42, 171 8:38, 175 8:54, 173 9:03, 174 8:38, 176 What would you do differently?: Loose weight, more tempo runs Post race
Warm down: Lots of water, some beer, fruits Met rottieguy, his wife and TrishM What limited your ability to perform faster: The bike should get better with the new bike Other than that I really need to focus on the run, that is where I am loosing the most time Event comments: Very good race Flat course helps with the times Lots of volunteers on the bike course, just once a policeman overestimated my distance and signaled a car to go, but the driver luckily saw me, needed to slow down just a little Last updated: 2009-08-01 12:00 AM

Veteran 201 Winter Park, Florida | Subject: RE: Sylvania Triathlon - Olympic Distance Juergen, Great Race Report and great job out there on the course. Your swim and bike times are tremendous! I'm wondering what your new bike is (you should have it by the time of this post). It looks like you had a very good race and that weekend had crazy hot temperatures across the whole midwest. Anyway, I really, really wanted to do the Sylvania Tri this year but I opted to stay closer to Chicago by doing the Pleasant Prairie Oly just over the border from us in Wisconsin. I have family close to Sylvania in Temperence, MI and Holland/Toledo, OH so I visit there about 5-6 times a year. Will you be doing this same race next year? If so shoot me a PM. Hope your race on 8/23 is another success and I hope you get some killer times on your new bike! Eddie |

Race started at 7.30am, my wave at 7:48
Woke up at 5am, had about 50 min drive. By the time I loaded the car, it was 6:20am until I got there
Parking was a little off-site, so the time for preperation was just about right
Had 1 ClifBar, 2 bananas, some Heed and a coffee, that combination seems to work best for me, no issues later on ;-)
As always, nothing really
