  • 350 meters
  • 02m 12s / 100 meters
Comments:

Generally I felt pretty good and kept a steady pace, my best swim so far (been working on this). I got boxed in on the last 50m in the front and side that likely cost me a few seconds. Otherwise good.
What would you do differently?:

Continue to focus on swim pacing to get faster.
Transition 1
  • 01m 33s
Comments:

Minimalist approach; no shirt, shocks, gloves, etc. Good transition, but couldn't get my shoes in the cleats. I needed to peddle without being clipped better.
What would you do differently?:

Peddle without being clipped in, then focus on clipping in.
Bike
  • 34m 19s
  • 10 miles
  • 17.48 mile/hr
Comments:

Lack of training of the past 3 months has mostly hit my biking; not nearly as good a bike leg as last year. Felt weak and was passed on hills by better prepared riders.
What would you do differently?:

First tri of the season, so it's hard to be too critical, given our vacation and my business travel schedule.
Transition 2
  • 00m 51s
Comments:

Good smooth, minimalist T2; helmet off, belt on, shoes off/on. Pretty clunky at the entrance; raced up to the dismount area, but not very smooth.
What would you do differently?:

Need to train for removing feet from shoes while moving.
Run
  • 20m 42s
  • 2.6 miles
  • 07m 58s  min/mile
Comments:

Not a bad run, given my level of training and temp/hum. I paced pretty well and took water, mostly to cool-off.

Event comments:

Better organized this year, lot's of volunteers and police.

good job out there! This tri always has the strangest weather... raining last year, burning up this year.
