 Swim
Comments: Swim felt good Navigation was a problem on the return route. What would you do differently?: Sight more.  Transition 1
Comments: Strap was out of the shoes. Forgot to put helmet on right away. What would you do differently?: Recheck setup. Pull my head out of my butt so I can get my helmet on.  Bike
Comments: Bike felt tough. I didn't think I was going to average 20. I did catch my wind near the end of the bike leg Transition 2
What would you do differently?: Still got to work on the shoes  Run
Comments: Total Crap! I am pretty disgusted. What would you do differently?: I need to do more speed work. On the bike and the run. More bricks. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: I need to do more bike and run speed work. I have 5 weeks to my priority one race and I need to get in gear. No more missed workouts. No more modified workouts. 1 long, 1 speed, and 1 tempo/week for the bike and run. My transitions are pretty good. This was a good time to have a poor race. I have 5 weeks to improve. Event comments: Excellent race! Very well organized! I would recommend this race to both beginners and experienced triathletes. Last updated: 2005-07-10 12:00 AM

| Extreme Veteran 464 San Clemente, California | Subject: RE: Graniteman Jeez, average bike speed 21mph and run speed of just over 7 minutes/mile and that's a bad performance? You must be a stud! I would be overjoyed at those speeds! |

Expert 743 Minnesota | Subject: RE: Graniteman TriBodyboarder - 2005-07-10 9:16 AM Jeez, average bike speed 21mph and run speed of just over 7 minutes/mile and that's a bad performance? You must be a stud! I would be overjoyed at those speeds! I have been re-evaluating... My bike speed has improved about a half mile per hour each race this year. I shouldn't complain. I do want to hit that 22-22.5 MPH mark though, but I still have 5 weeks to my priority 1 race. I have not improved my run! I do need to work harder on this. I am shooting for a 6:45 pace. There were quite a few studs in this race which made my results look a bit worse. What I needed to do was to compare these results with my past results. I checked out your Carlsbad race report. Top 1/3 is certainly nothing to sneeze at. |

Regular 98 Eden Prairie, MN | Subject: RE: Graniteman David- Don't beat yourself up too badly about your run. Like you said, this was not your "priority" race, so use it as a stepping stone. You don't want to be peaking too early. If anything, this could turn out to be a real positive if you can use it as motivation. Keep up the hard work and good luck! BTW, what is your priority race? Regards, Kevin |

Master 2346 Dayton, Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Graniteman This looks like an outstanding race to me! Congratulations! The weather could not have helped, I imagine; the heat and humidity were bad enough in Grand Rapids on Saturday, so I'm sure it was nearly unbearable in St. Cloud on Sunday! |

| Expert 786 Princeton, MN | Subject: RE: Graniteman Great race. I'd give my right arm to have a race like that considering my result. But then I wouldn't be able to swim... One day I want to be as good as you. See you up in Nevis Ian |

Elite 3020 Bay Area, CA | Subject: RE: Graniteman Now, I know that when you're slower than you want to be it just bites, but man, I wish... As others have said, this wasn't your priority race, so you've got some time to lock it down for that one - also you want to be in your best shape for that one, not this one. |

Expert 743 Minnesota | Subject: RE: Graniteman Thanks all for the perspective. I don't feel quite as bad as I did when I viewed the results. The posted results did have my run time as a 7:34 pace, but this is incorrect if my finish time and race distance are accurate. Rather than selling my bike to buy a big screen TV and satellite dish subscription, I will use this race as motivation to train a bit better in the coming weeks. |
