Swim
  • 14m 35s
  • 820 yards
  • 01m 47s / 100 yards
Comments:

Went very smoothly, swam about 300 yds on someone elses feet. Caught the back of the prior wave about 150 from the end.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Learn to swim faster
Transition 1
  • 01m 45s
Comments:

Took it deliberately slow. Sat down and put on my socks. Probably cost me at least 30 seconds, but I was treating it as a glorified training ride.
What would you do differently?:

Skip the socks
Bike
  • 42m 19s
  • 15 miles
  • 21.27 mile/hr
Comments:

Had a good ride. Took me a mile or two to find my rhythm. About 1/2 way through found a nice energy boost and poured on some more speed. Lost a little more speed than I would like on the hills.
What would you do differently?:

Drop some weight and practice more hills.
Transition 2
  • 00m 56s
Comments:

Went fairly well. Not much to say.
Run
  • 33m 42s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 10m 50s  min/mile
Comments:

The wheels fell off almost immediately. About 200 yds into the run my right calf tightened up. I walked/ran the course trying to keep it from repeating. It sucked. The course was hard. Jammed my little toe on my right foot going down a steep incline in the trees. There were roots and stumps everywhere. I ran for awhile with a guy named Dan who ended up finishing 5 minutes ahead of me on the run. The pace we were doing was fine for me if I could have kept from cramping. That would be about 30 places better overall and 7th in my AG.
What would you do differently?:

Take some electrolyte supplements before hand. Stretch my legs out before hand.

Nice swim and bike...smoked me on both...great job!

If you saw a guy on the side of the road at the bike start working on a rear wheel...that was me.

Pretty fun event, although I agree...that run was tough and even seemed a bit long.

Nice race, Doug!  Wowza on the swim and bike splits.  Cramps are definitely no fun and we have all been there.  Good job getting through it.

Good jub man.  Looks like the swim and bike part you kicked it.  I have no doubt at Pinehurts you will put all 3 together for a great race!

NIce race, Doug.  The off road stuff sounds tough...and like a nice change of pace from the pavement.  Way to stay tough.

Looks like you had a much better swim.  And you did have the correct running shoes this time right?

NIce race. awesome split on your swim. Don't think I woul dhave liked the run too much. Too mnay things to look out for and i like to look too far ahead. I'd be tripping over things all the time.

Great race, super fast swim and bike. Was that a trail run? Those are hard on the legs!

Hehe, I wonder if Harold noticed his typo "Pinehurts", get it, hurts. Seriously, Pinehurst is a nice run, rolling hills like we have around here. You'll love that race!
