I thought my swim went OK so I was disappointed with my pace. However my swim time in 2010 is only 44 secs slower than 2009. By my math my pace for 2010 is 2:13. I had some issues on the last leg with sighting. The 3:13 pace seems realistic.

Get s swim warmup in if possible. I had some troubles with my goggles right before the start of the swim but no issues once the race started.

No real T1 issues. One heel got stuck but not an issue. T1 I was 2nd in AG +6 secs from the fastest T1 time.

Nothing

Garmin had course a little short again this year. Improved from 20.4 to 21.2 mph and pleased with bike.

Nothing

4th in AG, +23 secs from fastest. This year I did put socks on, added a few secs. I also (stupidly) went the wrong way for run out for maybe 10-15 yards.

No wrong turns.

I was hoping for a pace close to or under 7:00. Started out OK but the heat/humidity caused my pace to drop. I did hang with a 35 yr old who passed me at mile 1. Our paces slowed about the same. No foot/blister issues this year. On the plus side, I actually had a faster run time than Mark, probably the first and only time this will happen.

Tough conditions. Not the pace I was hoping for but I was 1st in AG and decent in overall placing.

Lots of fluids. They had hamburgers/hot dogs this year. Pleased with a podium finish but hoped to get a little faster closer to 2:30 or under.


My training is much more balanced this year. It appears my bike times have improved based on this tri, the du and TT. I need to get back to better run pace and I'm close. Swim times still have the greatest potential for improvement.


Another good race with new RD. Great time traveling with TriRochester group again. Jerry & Donna did another great job hosting all of us. Sawra and I were 3rd in our AG, Jenny and Harvey won their AG. 4 podium finishers is another great showing for the club.
