M.I.T. - Miami International Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Lined up about 2 rows back. Got in the water and started swimming. Still had slow idiots in front of me. Got around them at about the first buoy and turned right to go about 900m on the straight. The straight was pretty open and grabbed some feet and drafted the best I can. But I would always pass them. Came to the next turn buoy and started hitting people was the 2 waves that started in front of me. Got around them and made my way to the finish. Sighting on the last diagonal was hard as there was nothing to really sight off and I couldn't see my final buoy. Overall I was always pretty close to the buoy's

Nothing. Maybe start faster.

T1 was kind of big and I was not in an ideal spot. Decided to put the shoes on in T1 and run out. It was congested so wasn't able to run out fast.

Still need to learn the flying mount.

As you come out of transition you have about 500yds until you hit the key biscayne bridge. The wind coming the the bridge was really bad. I thought I was going to loss it. Lots of people because of the 2 loops and was in the final wave. Nothing too exciting. 2nd loop there started to be less people out there, but the wind was picking up.

I wanted to go sub 1:10, but the wind prevented that.

This was a pretty good transition. It was congested again because of the number of people.

Nothing

Goal was to run the 1st 2 miles in 15mins. Hit the 1st mile marker at 7:32, so was in good shape. Then I hit the dirt part of the trial and it was congested again, so I hit the 2 mile marker at about 15:30. I eased my pace down to between 8:30 and 9:00 miles. Was still feeling good and passing people, so I decided that when I hit mile 5 I would pick it up again to the finish. Don't recall the time, but had a good finishing 1.2 miles. PR for the 10K of an Olympic tri.

Nothing

Walked around. Ate.


Nothing


After the race I couldn't find water. They give you 1 bottle when you cross the finish line. Then the food tent only had soda.
