Had a great OWS the day before on calm water. For some reason the wheels fell off today. Water had some chop and I may have started out to fast. Breathing was erratic and lost focus on form. Lots of side stroke and back stroke

Start slower and build pace. Focus on keeping head down in water and left side pull.

Best t1 time yet. Swam with HR strap and top. Might have picked it up some more but I was pleased.

Nothing

First tri since adding clip on aerobats on my road bike and was pleasantly surprised. Seem to have added about 2mph. Some spots found myself in between gears to try to keep cadence up.

Nothing

T2 was also my best time so far so no complaints.

HR was pretty high out of t2 so I backed it down some. Once I got water on my head and back was able to pick the third mile up to 6:43 pace. Pleased as this was a PR pace for Sprint Tris.

Cold water on head and back earlier. (out of t2)

No warm down.


Swim is the big limiter and Bike speed is now getting to a point where a TT bike may help, but I really like passing the high dollar bikes on my Black Beauty. Might be able to squeak a little more pace in the run.


My second IRP race. No frills but the race itself is well organized and run considering the locations the are located at. Both races might have benefitted from a few more volunteers on the run course directing people to the proper route.
