View Member's Race Log

Geneva, NY
United States
80F / 27C
Sunny

Total Time = 4h 58m 35s
Overall Rank = 32/293
Age Group = 20-29
Age Group Rank = 0/

Pre-race routine:

Woke-up at 0500 and ate some fruit and a bagel. Went to transition area and dried my bike off (dew) and set up my gear.

Event warmup:

Easy warm-up swim and light stretch.

Swim

37m 34s
1950 meters
01m 56s / 100 meters

Comments:

1.2 mile swim, I felt pretty good in retrospect, but I swam 90% breast stroke 10% freestyle and I wish I did it reverse.

What would you do differently?:

Just go for it and not be afraid to swim freestyle.

Transition 1

02m 20s

Bike

2h 36m 30s
56 miles
21.47 mile/hr

Comments:

I felt great and had a lot of fun on the bike.

What would you do differently?:

Eat more! A lot more.

Transition 2

01m 36s

Comments:

Fairly smooth, with no major flaws.

What would you do differently?:

Have a quick bite to eat while exiting transition area.

Run

1h 40m 35s
13.1 miles
07m 41s min/mile

Comments:

I felt good until about mile 8. At that point, my legs ran out of strength/energy; my heart rate and breathing were fine, but I ran out of energy. I was VERY hungry from mile 8 to finish.

What would you do differently?:

Eat more on the bike to prevent the energy loss on the bike.

Post race

Warm down:

Stretch, and eat/drink.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I didn't consume enough calories early in the race and it affected my run. Lesson learned.

Event comments:

This race was very well organized and supported. Plenty of aid stations, and post-race food. Great race! For my first halfiron and my third triathlon, I am satisified but I know that I have a lot of room for improvement.
