Bethany Beach, Delaware
United States
Columbia Triathlon Association

Total Time = 2h 40m 58s
Overall Rank = 101/428
Age Group = 50-54
Age Group Rank = 5/32

Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 5, ate and drove to transition. Set up, drank fluids and introduced myself to Rick (aka Daremo).

Event warmup:

Mile walk to swim start.

Swim

27m 18s
1640 yards
01m 40s / 100 yards

Comments:

Decent swell and chop. Bouys close to surf break. Bilateral breathing.

What would you do differently?:

Thought it was a better swim than 7th. Didn't see anyone in front when I got out of the water. Only foorsteps were from Elite group...hmmm.

Transition 1

03m 23s

Comments:

Got to get rid of those socks and learn to start with shoes clipped in. Goal for winter. Otherwise good.

Bike

1h 15m 51s
24.85 miles
19.66 mile/hr

Comments:

Good bike, crawled my way up to 2nd. Cadence was a little higher than planned, maybe headwind on return?

What would you do differently?:

not sure at this point. Another cog down on rear cassette (is that higher or lower gear?) and lower cadence????

Transition 2

01m 45s

Comments:

Pretty smooth.

What would you do differently?:

not too much.

Run

52m 44s
6.21 miles
08m 29s min/mile

Comments:

Happy with 8:30 pace which was a nice improvement, but not good enough to go from 2nd to 5th in the run. Need to get into the low 8's or high 7's?

What would you do differently?:

train more on the run, less on the swim and bike.

Post race

Warm down:

Grabbed some fluids, went back to finish to chear my nephew in. Met the wife and back for a shower and ride home. Well, stopped by Starboards for bloodymary and burger before the ride home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wrong gear on bike, legs felt a bit heavy towards the end. More running.

Event comments:

Very well organized. Great course control on the ride. Nice weather helped!
