 Swim
Comments: Terrible swim. Goggles leaked and I had to stop 6-7 times to clear them. Otherwise a decent swim. Same goggles I have been using for weeks and they were fine during warm up swim What would you do differently?: Not have leaky goggles. Lost 1-2 minutes on the swim. Not a good start  Transition 1
Comments: Had some trouble getting wetsuit off. First time going sockless so that saved a bit of time.  Bike
Comments: Solid ride. Was looking to average around 230 watts and ended up with 231AP and 236NP. Could have gone harder but wanted to save a bit for the run. Lost a little focus during the middle of the ride but overall a good bike segment. Road was pretty rough in places. Transition 2
Comments: Pretty good. My transition spot was close to bike in and run out spots  Run
Comments: I hit a button on my watch leaving T2 and didn't realize until several minutes later that the timer had stopped running. Tried to maintain around 7:15 pace. Felt pretty good throughout the run although the trail portion toward the end was pretty tough. 2+ minute improvement over last year's run time What would you do differently?: Nothing really. Feel like I executed well and pushed hard through the finish. Post race
Warm down: A bit of stretching and light jogging. Visited with some folks, rehydrated and enjoyed the post race activities What limited your ability to perform faster: Leaky goggles. Pleased that I was able to refocus after the swim and still have a good race. Event comments: Great race. This is the 2nd year of the race and they have done a great job both years. Lots of volunteers, good swag, super post race party/activities. Only suggestion would be to post results as they become available rather than waiting until awards are done. Will be back next year. Everything I look for in a race. Last updated: 2012-04-01 12:00 AM

Expert 1384 Charlottesville, Virginia | Subject: RE: Run-N-Tri's Tradition's Triathlon Super race, Randy. And you're way too hard on yourself with the swimming. Bummer about the goggles, but the swim (especially if you lost a minute) was solid. And who the heck is this old guy who beat you on the bike and run... damn fast dude. I thought Armstrong was racing somewhere else... anyway, great job... all that consistent training is paying big dividends. That's a huge improvement over last year's time. Congrats! |
