New Brighton, Minnesota
United States
FrontRunner
70F / 21C
Sunny

Total Time = 1h 19m 39s
Overall Rank = 58/307
Age Group = 30-34m
Age Group Rank = 9/26

Pre-race routine:

Small Lara Bars and sunkist on the drive.

Event warmup:

Ran about 15 min easy, talked to Todd and Kevin. Swam about 5 min easy.

Swim

15m 53s
880 yards
01m 48s / 100 yards

Comments:

Felt totally relaxed the entire swim, a first for me in a tri swim. The back portion of the swim wasn't pointed at the beach very well, and I did notice that I swam the two turns kind of wide, but my slow time still surprised me.

What would you do differently?:

Stay tighter to the bouys, learn to swim straighter so I can learn to draft.

Transition 1

Comments:

Extra Body Glide on the ankles and wrists, wetsuit came off like a charm.

What would you do differently?:

Not slip on the grass right into transition.

Bike

39m 15s
14 miles
21.40 mile/hr

Comments:

Tried to keep my cadence in the 95 to 100 range and not push too hard.

What would you do differently?:

Be more confident.

Transition 2

00m 42s

Comments:

This went well also, mostly.

What would you do differently?:

Get my feet out of my shoes better, and keep moving for the dismount.

Run

22m 50s
3 miles
07m 37s min/mile

Comments:

Just didn't feel like I had any speed, pushed comfortably hard, but didn't catch many people, maybe two.

What would you do differently?:

Train more.

Post race

Warm down:

Chit chat.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm about a month behind last year's training, 'A' race is late Aug this year. Just need more time.

Event comments:

Still love the price of this race. Organized is a relative term here, this year was pretty good. There were a few intersections on the bike with no control, but had no issues.
It's the unofficial start of tri season for me
