Swim
Comments: Now that I am starting to swim a bit better I am "in the pack" at the first buoy. Need to find a better line / pace?? What would you do differently?: Pace myself away from the larger pack - maybe try and get out front a bit quicker? Transition 1
Comments: Seemed really slow. Afterwards, my time was on average as previous attempts. I know I can get faster at this... What would you do differently?: Practice more and more... Little issues are causing delays. Need to figure out how to get around them. Bike
Comments: Very sandy after the past few weeks of rain. Much of the course is evolving over the summer... What would you do differently?: More practice on mountain bike. I only ride it in these races... very little off road practice. Too focused on road race coming up. Transition 2
Comments: As with T1 - can get faster at this. I had better times last year - or so it seems.. What would you do differently?: Stretch / pull laces for sneakers. Pay attention to the little details. Run
Comments: Used a metronome in race for first time. Set a bit too high, could not get into the rhythm. Ended up being a PR for me.. even though it didn't feel like it on the run What would you do differently?: Set pace a bit lower on the metronome. Post race
Warm down: Chill out, finished the HEED in my bike bottle, drank some water. Loaded truck then headed for a shower.. nice facilities at Winding Trails. What limited your ability to perform faster: Training, or lack thereof, with off road running and biking. Fighting sinus infection / cold - wasn't very motivated. Event comments: Best run at Winding Trails for me to date... Last updated: 2015-08-05 12:00 AM
