 Swim
Comments: Generally, a good swim. I could have gone a bit faster, but am still pleased with the swim. I tried to draft a bit, but didn't get close enough to get in the slipstream (it just felt rude to creep up on someone's feet). After the second bouy, I went a bit wide and had to correct my course some. What would you do differently?: Pick up the pace some more after the second bouy.  Transition 1
Comments: I seemed to really struggle with my socks (as always). I need to work on going sockless so I can have a much quicker T1.  Bike
Comments: While I could definitely work on improving my hill climbing ability, overall it was a pretty good ride. I hit some good speeds on the downhills and flats, and stayed in the drops for a good bit of the ride. Everything was going well for most of the ride, and then, . . . FLAT! I flatted out with about a 1/2 mile to go. Now, this was just about the best place to have this happen, as it didn't ruin my race. I coasted on the flat until there was a turn, then I hopped off and jogged the bike in for about the last 1/4 mile. What would you do differently?: Improve hill climbing; not get a flat. Transition 2
Comments: I usually have pretty fast T2s, and this was pretty good. I was a bit frantic because of the flat, but still had a good transition.  Run
Comments: Okay, I admit that I hadn't practiced a single brick run this year, so I wasn't expecting to come out of T2 that easy. While it didn't feel bad, I had a particularly slow first mile. The second and third miles were better, but I still feel like I could have gone faster. Need to work on speed. Post race
Warm down: Walked around; took in some nutrition (MuscleMilk), drank water, and stretched. Last updated: 2012-05-22 12:00 AM

Veteran 441 Maine | Subject: RE: Pirate Tri Nice job! Too bad about the flat, but as you said it was probably just about the best place to have it happen. I was one behind you in the AG. |

Sunny
Overall Rank = 136/383
Age Group = M 45-49
Age Group Rank = 16/30
Walked around and took in the environment. Got to the race pretty early, so I had lots of time to kill. Scoped out the different transition entries/exits.
Jogged easy for a few minutes (maybe a 1/2 mile), then did some active stretches. As the transition area was closing up, I got in the water for a warm-up swim. Swam easy maybe 400 yds.
