It was a long 10k. 6.35 as per my garmin. I just did Eagleman(HIM) on 6/9 and did not fully recover. I am happy with this effort. I don't know if I could have ran much faster anyway : ) but i like to think so

What limited your ability to perform faster:

need to trim down. i weigh about 210-212. I am very lean but the weight gets to you. Thank god for the Clydes class

Event comments:

EventPower always puts on a 1st class Tri. I made the podium and so did my wife. I think the swim portion is the best on Long Island. Volunteers were great!! They also have a lot of divisions to get on the podium which I think is great for everyone. I do at least 3 of there events a year and they are great. Thank You EventPower!!!

I really want to do an Olympic distance but I feel it is a little too far right now. Which training plan should I follow? The sprint sounds too easy for what I'm doing but the Olympic seems too much?

After doing duathlons for the last couple of years, I decided to go for a triathlon. Starting with an Olympic-distance race perhaps wasn't wise, but it was fun (of a sort).

After your first triathlon, how many days off should you take to rest? How should you start your training again?

Keep in mind that the taper period is as important to your body as all of the long hours you’ve put in the pool, on the bike and on the road. It is meant to help you rest, recover and rejuvenate.
