![]() Swim
Comments: started at the back of my age group, outside right nearest rocks to avoid crowd. had to recover 6-8 times for running into feetr, arms, 8-10 course corrections / kept veering off to right. What would you do differently?: Practice being fish like. Need to develop 70% efficiency / 30% muscle...I'm the other way around. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: too much time with rinsing feet, drying feet, putting on socks, lacing tennis shoes. Not sure how to pace....... 1st Tri. Learning curve. ![]() Bike
Comments: all bikes passing me were high dollar road / race bikes. Passed several people, however, worst event as far as placement. What would you do differently?: ride a real road bike vs my $120 40 lb mountain bike. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: didn't change shoes. ran in same nike shox as cycled in. ![]() Run
Comments: Can't run and drink at same time. Rubbery legs off the bike. About a mile to get into stride / pace. Best event for placement. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Lots of good food and drink. Winning pro time was 1:21:34. Winning swim 10:15, winning bike 44 min, winning run 24 min. What limited your ability to perform faster: 1st race, not knowing what pace to go on, slow T1, slow heavy 40lb cheap mountain bike, but the aero bars helped significantly. Event comments: My first triathlon. Overall goal was to finish, hopefully under 3 hrs. Very pleased with my performance. Last updated: 2005-10-02 12:00 AM
