 Swim
Comments: This included a pretty long run up a hill once out of the water, which accounts for the slow time. I didn't get passed by anyone once in the water, but did pass quite a few folks. It was a "rough" swim, lots of thrashing and jockeying for position at the start. I actually like the rough and tumble, since I'm very confident in the water. I find that when I bump into people, they wind up slowing down and allow me to pass. What would you do differently?: I'd love to be the first out of the water one day, but I don't think that will ever happen. The fastest time was just over 10:41.  Transition 1
Comments: T1 went smoothly.  Bike
Comments: Decent bike. I was passed by 4 riders in my AG. Another must have snuck out of T1 ahead of me. Transition 2
Comments: There was no time recorded for T2! So, I had to fudge it based upon the race results. I think T2 was buried in as part of the bike leg. I approximated T2 and made sure that all the time splits added up to match the total of 1:16:35.  Run
Comments: The run was hilly, much like the bike. But, it was a blast to run this sprint race after doing so many long distance tri's this season. The weather was perfect and it was fun to finish. I am pleased with my AG placement and my overall placement. Post race
Warm down: Drove 2 hours back home. What limited your ability to perform faster: My own tolerance for pain. Last updated: 2005-05-23 12:00 AM

Elite 3223 Hendersonville | Subject: RE: Indian Springs Sprint-Tri the Park Series Sprints can be a lot of fun - no pressure, no stress, and you can really hammer the bike and not worry too much about the run. Great job all around. It must be nice to be strong in all 3 sports! Jessica |

Champion 6627 Rochester Hills, Michigan Gold member | Subject: RE: Indian Springs Sprint-Tri the Park Series Nice work Karl! That's some serious speed. And I bet it was VERY COOL to finally run a tri where you weren't worried about fitness level or nutrition plan, it was just how fast you could go. I'd bet that was fun! And I always wondered who the guy was behaving like a bumper car at the swim starts and rounding buoys... Edited by rkreuser 2005-06-27 8:45 AM |

Master 1791 Raleigh, North Carolina | Subject: RE: Indian Springs Sprint-Tri the Park Series Nice race Karl! Bet it felt weird only racing for a very fast 1h 16min after those HIM's. You sure can ride that bike of your and you ran like a deer. Way to go bro! |
