 Swim
Comments: Swimming is my best leg of the tri but I hadn't OWS yet this year and hadn't swam in my wetsuit before. I usually swim with a pretty high kick and the wetsuit made my lets float so high that they were practically out of the water so I didn't use much kick. I also usually have a pretty long glide but without seeing the pool floor moving past I lost judgement of my speed and pushed too hard the first half. I've swam this same pace in open water without a wetsuit so I don't think I got much of a speed boost (I haven't learned how to make use of it yet) but I was definitely warmer and more comfortable because of it. What would you do differently?: I needed to prepare and practice OWS in my wetsuit.  Transition 1
Comments: I was out of breath after swimming too hard so I moved slower in T1 to catch my breath. I had practiced taking my wetsuit off so it didn't slow me down much. What would you do differently?: Need more practice getting into SPD-SL pedals. My foot fell out of my pedal and I landed full force on my seat. That stung...  Bike
Comments: Second time using my new bike! I really like it! When I train I often follow rivers, creeks, or track-to-trails and it has made me way under prepared for hills. What would you do differently?: Train more, train on rolling hills. Transition 2
 Run
Comments: Ug, I suck at running. I ran a 5k in 27 min a few weeks ago and while that's not very fast, it's much faster than I ran here. I think my overall endurance and nutrition was too low to finish strong. What would you do differently?: Longer training sessions, better nutrition, work on running speed. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: I definitely haven't been training enough. Various circumstances caused me to use a lot of new/borrowed equipment that I'm not used to. Last updated: 2012-12-27 12:00 AM

Veteran 576 Maple Grove | Subject: RE: Lake Minnetonka Triathlon Great job, and certainly a great swim. New equipment can always pose some challenges when first used in a race setting. I enjoyed meeting you, and hope to see you out there in the future. Congrats! |
