Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
United States
RAM Racing
72F / 22C
Overcast

Total Time = 1h 51m 58s
Overall Rank = 303/400
Age Group = Clydesdale
Age Group Rank = 9/15

Pre-race routine:

Up at 4:50 am. Had oatmeal and a cup of coffee and then off to transition. I left later than I should of and had ten minutes in transition by the time a got there. it was enough be made for a hectic start to the day.

Event warmup:

Warm up was a few strokes in the lake before the start.

Swim

22m 36s
820 yards
02m 46s / 100 yards

Comments:

My swimming was still slow but greatly improved over last year. I drafted off of people in front of me for the first half of the swim (yes I was actually able to keep up). I actually started passing swimmers on the way back. I definitely swam extra yards due to poor sighting and stopped several times to correct course.

What would you do differently?:

Practice sighting more and get into a rhythm earlier.

Transition 1

05m 54s

Comments:

I was a bit disorganized in transition and was not conscious of the time.

What would you do differently?:

More organization. Practice my transitions

Bike

45m 53s
12.43 miles
16.25 mile/hr

Comments:

Much better on the hills this year compared to last. Still have a lot of work to do. Passed a number of people on the bike leg. Didn't trash my legs for the run like I did last year.

What would you do differently?:

More miles on the bike.

Transition 2

03m 4s

Comments:

The bike transition was very crowded and tight. It took me extra time to rack my bike

Run

34m 35s
3.11 miles
11m 07s min/mile

Comments:

I probably could have pushed the run a bit more. The hills in this run took a lot out of me but my heart rate recovered well on the downhills and levels.

Post race

Warm down:

Did a lot of walking as my car was about a mile away and had some carbs post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Sighting in the swim and overall leg strength on the bike

Event comments:

I would definitely recommend this race. it's beginner friendly. It is however not an easy course.
