 Swim
Comments: Overall i am comfortable about the whole swim segment. I just stop once to fix my goggles. im last of my AG well i am really not a swimmer i just do what i can to get to dry land. What would you do differently?: eventually ill be comfortable with frontcrawl not in the near future though.  Transition 1
Comments: better than before What would you do differently?: nothing much  Bike
Comments: The bike leg was cut short due to construction, so its reduced to 14.2 miles very disappointing , the bike leg is what i am counting on to catch up on my very poor swimming. I was averaging 21 mph fir the first 9 miles and we hit this medium steep bridge and 1 steep bridge therefore averaged only 20 mph .I want to do this bike course again next year. What would you do differently?: nothing. Transition 2
Comments: ok no pains no nothing just that its 95 F now and the heat is not good. What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: The heat is too much but what probably slowed me down is fitness just splashed me some water every .5 miles otherwise i may end up walking the whole run leg. The over all course is good. What would you do differently?: i should have done bricks under the heat even short ones. Post race
Warm down: reached the finish line and got my bottle of water id rather splash it on me than drink it because of the heat. What limited your ability to perform faster: me. I should have done more short bricks under the heat Event comments: i would rate this average because they change the bike course to sprint and not because of the weather its because of the construction which was 2 months ago could have been planned in advance.

Extreme Veteran 1704 Penticton, BC | Subject: RE: Clear Lake International Triathlon - Olympic Course Well done Carlo, your stats aren't bad. You had a great ride and the full distance would have worked to your advantage. You had a decent run. Your only limiter was your swim and you can get better at swimming with practice but even then you're only going to gain a matter of minutes. I've been last in my age group more than once. It's no big deal to me and you're in a much tougher age group. |
