 Swim
Comments: I think it was a little long this year, but either way, I got a long way to go as a swimmer. I couldn't get into a groove. What would you do differently?: Learn to swim better, it really is just that simple.  Transition 1
Comments: This went well, kudos to the tri shirt. What would you do differently?: Nothing but practice.  Bike
Comments: This was one of the challenges. Note to self, when putting the bottle back into the cage after drinking, make sure it is in the cage. ARGH! I dropped the thing, turned around, went back and retrieved it. It was my only bottle/nutrition of the whole race and leaving it behind was not going to be a good idea. All that facotred in, I still beat last year. So, while I am not happy with the bike, really, how sad can I be? What would you do differently?: Don't drop the bottle, DOH! Transition 2
Comments: 35 seconds is a time I may never beat, so that is all good! What would you do differently?: nada, zip, zilch.  Run
Comments: I have to be tougher. There was no reason to walk any of this, yet I did at least 4 times. I lost time there. I realize that I'm not podium bound anytime soon, but really? Really? Cowboy up dude! OK, I still knocked nearly 4 minutes off last year, so how unhappy can I be? What would you do differently?: HTFU Post race
Warm down: Wander around, cheer, yap with folks. Last updated: 2012-03-12 12:00 AM

Member 892 England | Subject: RE: Englewood YMCA Triathlon Good effort Chris. Factor in the bottle retrieval and lost ground/ momentum and you are probably 20 places higher and 6 minutes better than last year. Great bike speed. Now just HTFU and throw in a few training bricks Edited by ukweeble 2012-07-15 2:30 AM |

Melon Presser 52077 | Subject: RE: Englewood YMCA Triathlon CONGRATULATIONS! That's a great PR over last year. And not finding rhythm on the swim, dropping bottles, walk breaks ... are all a part and parcel of the tri adventure. You've got the rest of your life to sort it out and KEEP HAVING FUN and pushing yourself! |

Master 3887 Overland Park, KS | Subject: RE: Englewood YMCA Triathlon Nice work Chris. I've dropped the bottle before during a race, not fun. Still a good bike split even with the mishap. Yeah that was a fast T2. |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Englewood YMCA Triathlon Awesome job, Chris! Way to bounce back after the bottle drop. And taking 4 minutes off last year's time even with the bottle mishap means you are doing something right! I like your new profile pic, I presume it is from this race? |

Extreme Veteran 536 | Subject: RE: Englewood YMCA Triathlon Sounds like overall you had a great day! That bike time is totally impressive and 35 second T2??? What the butt? Way to stick with it with the swim (yeah, yeah, I know we dont' really have a choice but to stick with the swim, lol - unless you wait for the current to take you back to shore!) and run. |
