 Swim
Comments: started over 15 minutes late because of people jumping in line with higher numbers, it didn't really affect me, but I didn't like it. Swam better than I have been the last few tri's, not sure if we were swimming into a current or not but my time still seems slow. no issues with bumping, or navigation. Just swam steady. What would you do differently?: maybe go at it a little harder I seemed to get too comfortable at times  Transition 1
Comments: put socks on for the first time since I blistered up last year, took me a little longer than normal What would you do differently?: nothing, just pick it up a bit  Bike
Comments: biked well, this is a very hard course to keep a high speed going, seems like everytime I would get rolling I would have a turn or a bump coming up. rode about 90% took breaks across the rough spots and RR tracks. What would you do differently?: Nothing, the course dictated my speed today if it was smooth would have been at least 1mph faster. I had the course at 24.2 miles, I think last year it was just around 23 Transition 2
Comments: long way to the dismount and they made us slow quite a bit, a little slow in t2 took a drink of my infinit before the run which cost me a few seconds What would you do differently?: get the drink before the dismount and put belt on as I'm running  Run
Comments: feel ok and thought I was running 7:30's, but first mile was 7:39, tried to pick it up and thought I did then the second mile was 7:39, at that point just tried to maintain but got a little slower. I felt good during the last mile, but a little too late. I wanted to run 7:10-7:15 range and should have but not sure what happen What would you do differently?: get after it early and not fall into a feel good pace. Post race
Warm down: not much walked around with my wife What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of mental toughness, I need to get that back Event comments: I was 8 minutes slower than last year, I like the race and it looks like they are going to pave some of the rough spots on the bike, but this course will always have some rough road and RR tracks and lots of turns. I like the swim and run and will be back. I'm a little disappointed with my performace but I just wasn't there mentally and need to step it up. Last updated: 2011-03-12 12:00 AM

Master 3486   Fort Wayne | Subject: RE: Tri Indy - Olympic Course Ron, It looks like neither of us met our goals. I think I was fooling myself with my run goal. I was wanting to hit an avg. of 7:00 on the run but realistically I don't think I am capable of that after the bike hammering. It sounds like you had a fun race and sometimes that's whats most important. I would liked to have been able to find you a little more before the race and chatted but I guess I had preparations I was going through and got distracted. I am sure we'll be seeing each other around over the coming years again. Good race and enjoy the rest of the season. Edited by DirkP 2011-08-09 4:37 AM |
