Geneva, New York
United States
Musselman Triathlon
74F / 23C
Sunny

Total Time = 1h 29m 13s
Overall Rank = 188/496
Age Group = 35-39
Age Group Rank = 3/22

Pre-race routine:

Slept solidly for 8 hours the night before, had a good breakfast - blueberries and granola. I ate a banana when I got to the race site.

Event warmup:

walking back to my car twice from T area to get my sneakers and then my bib number! I did get in the water and waded around a little and stretched - not enough time to really swim.

Swim

10m 21s
500 yards
02m 04s / 100 yards

What would you do differently?:

Be more aggressive the first few hundred yards, I stopped way too many times to navigate and let people go by, etc

Transition 1

01m 30s

What would you do differently?:

practice this more, I kept slipping and couldn't get clipped in

Bike

49m 11s
15 miles
18.30 mile/hr

What would you do differently?:

I just need more training time on the bike...this was my favorite leg of the race!

Transition 2

01m 10s

Run

27m 1s
3 miles
09m 01s min/mile

Comments:

My back felt great - surprisingly enough -

What would you do differently?:

I really need to work on speed. My breathing was not too great, so I just couldn't make my legs go any faster. Next time I won't drop my inhaler on the bike!
