Comments: Last year's time was 10:19 0:48 improvement What would you do differently?: Nothing  Transition 1
Comments: Top rank in T1 by 10 seconds What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: Again another nasty headwind. Last year's time was 36:35. 2:08 improvement What would you do differently?: I need more time on the bike. I think that my bike negatively affected my run. I should have pedaled down the first hill instead of coasting. Would pedaling down at 32mph instead of coasting at 30 have made the difference between a 6th place finish and a 4th place finish? Transition 2
Comments: Fumbled with the sunglasses and right shoe. What would you do differently?: ????  Run
Comments: I petered out in the end and got passed twice in the last 200 yd. This meant the difference between 4th and 6th place overall; a 9 second difference. Last year's time was 19:11 a whopping 1 second improvement. What would you do differently?: I need to train more on the bike. I really think that the impediment to my run in this race was my bike fitness. I need to run tired more. I need to build my speed work to total 3 miles and then begin to decrease times on my intervals. Post race
Warm down: Walk around. Visit. Shower. Great to see GJ50. Wish I had more time to visit. What limited your ability to perform faster: I think the bike segment needs work. Event comments: Excellent race. It was nice that the weather warmed quickly. I was very happy with my improvements from last year. I was around 3:30 faster overall. Last updated: 2006-04-21 12:00 AM

Expert 743 Minnesota | Subject: RE: Chain of Lakes Triathlon The more I analyze and play the what if game, the more I think I need to modify my race report. What if I had pedaled down the first long downhill at 32mph instead of coasting at 30? Oh! I better quit the "what if?" game. |

Expert 743 Minnesota | Subject: RE: Chain of Lakes Triathlon jpw - 2006-05-07 9:46 AM Great Race! Looks to me to be a good start to the year. Excellent bike and transition times. That is smokin' fast in that wind! My computer registered the distance as 12.4 miles, not 13 as is listed as the official distance. I am still happy with my speed though. |
