  • 1640 yards

Comments:

swim felt good, better than first tri of the year. Goggles were fogging so had to stop and rinse them 3x, kept the effort comfortable
What would you do differently?:

maybe time for new goggles
Transition 1
  • 01m 18s

suit stuck on heels briefly, other than that, no major issues, T1 rank 29
What would you do differently?:

not sure what I could do, timing chip was in the way, a little bulky

  • 23.65 miles
  • 21.47 mile/hr
Comments:

one of my best bike segments, was able to stay in aerobars, also the high miles I've been putting in helped keep it comfortable, this was the highest pace I've been able to sustain
What would you do differently?:

not too much, one of my better bike segments at Olympic distance
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

someone on my rack before me kind of messed up the area and racked in my spot and moved my shoes, was able to deal with it, rack OK and get moving, T2 added to run for official time, I calculated 1:23
What would you do differently?:

not much, took a gel at transition exit
Run
  • 42m 30s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 06m 53s  min/mile
Comments:

first 2-3 miles felt good, fairly hard, would have preferred 6:30 pace, took a gel at the beginning and at mile 3, stopped for water at the beginning, bridge turns and beginning of the second lap, was able to sustain the pace for the entire run for the most part, solid run
What would you do differently?:

not much, wanted to go a few seconds faster but it felt OK, effort was hard
Post race
Warm down:

walked, drank propel they had on hand, bagel, banana, power bar recovery, talked to friend who finished 5th overall

What limited your ability to perform faster:

goggles on swim, a tad in transition, bike and run felt solid enough for me

Event comments:

events ran about 30 mins late, could have used one more drink station, nice they had pancakes at the end, overall I always enjoy this race, it is fast, this is my fifth year in a row, always nice to get an age group award

Great race Brian! You had a great swim - wish I could have kept up with you.

It was nice to meet you - I was talking with you and the other Brian while waiting for our swim wave. I am sure I will see you at some of the other local races.

nice to meet you too, I saw you on here and that you won our age group at Rev3 last year so I sneak a peak at your training now and then, you can really run, and you have a flat gait with high cadence, hope to see you at another race again soon

Nice Race bud, 9th overall, I can only dream about that. I just put my report up, Milton Man 12' was my first Tri ever and I shaved 16 mins off my time this year. I am sure you passed me along the way somewhere.

You doing Greater Cleveland?

thanks, nice improvement on your time from last year, I've done Greater Cleveland the last 3-4 years but not this year as I have races scheduled the 2 following weeks, I've always thought it was quite a bit more challenging than Milton Man, waves in the lake, hills and wind on the bike, some rolling hills on the run, so be prepared and good luck!

I looked at the swim buoys and start thinking, "Man! How am I ever going to swim that? That looks like a very long distance from the bridge. I have never done it in one go." There's no turning back.

After doing duathlons for the last couple of years, I decided to go for a triathlon. Starting with an Olympic-distance race perhaps wasn't wise, but it was fun (of a sort).

Experts agree, doing a “mock,” triathlon on the course you’re racing can aid you in your training; performance and most of all quell some nervous energy.
