Swim

  • 440 yards
  • 01m 23s / 100 yards
Comments:

Had a swimmer real close at the end and just could not separate. Once broken I had a hard time restarting
What would you do differently?:

Possibly change breathing side so I was unaware of what was next to me. Also when tiring I tend to drift so that may have been all I needed.
Transition 1
  • 01m 15s
Comments:

Wrong socks for the transition, they are snug and difficult to get on when wet. Lesson learned.
What would you do differently?:

Wet suit got stuck on low leg will experiment with getting it off. Shampoo???
Bike
  • 50m 2s
  • 18 miles
  • 21.59 mile/hr
Comments:

Got beat on the bike by the age group and overall leaders. Superior equipment???
Transition 2
  • 00m 29s
Comments:

Felt good through here and pretty strong.
What would you do differently?:

Continue to do the intervals and transition in training. Training faster is making me faster.
Run
  • 22m 11s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 10s  min/mile
Comments:

This is the most cruel finish area I have raced. At about 2.25 miles you pass the start finish area with a return back to the finish line. You get your hopes up that its over and you have a good distance still to run. however this does make for a great motivator into the line.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, one of my best runs to date.
Post race
Warm down:

A soak in the lake to get the salt off.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bike??? I don't know how much a new geometry machine would help.

Event comments:

Only reason for an average rating, the post race awards were dicked up. They were unorganized, my guess is it was the timing people not the event.

My first triathlon was at age 56. At first I was just the cameraman at my daughter's first triathlon, then I am doing the races that she has done.

The triathlon made a lot of sense as I could fit the training around early mornings and other times that wouldn't eat too much into my family time. Things never go completely to plan do they?

I found a sprint, the Lake Las Vegas Triathlon, that was happening four months down the road and signed myself up; much to the surprise of friends and family.

The first time I ventured into the deep murky green lake and could not see the bottom my muscles tensed and my imagined fears surfaced. What exactly lies beneath?

Both the Lake Triathlon Shoe CX210TRI and the Lake Road Shoe CX225 offer distinct advantages. I tested both shoes and found them to be extremely comfortable, good looking and durable.
