Swim
Comments: I got battered in the first 3-400m. Much worse than last year. Apart from that it went well. What would you do differently?: Nothing Transition 1
Bike
Comments: I am much stronger in the bike this year and was surprised I didn't hit my target of 1:35. and was only 1 minute faster than last year This could have been because part the course had been changed and there was some strong headwinds which I'm not that good at going into. I was careful not to push too hard and save myself for the run. What would you do differently?: Practice more into headwinds!! Transition 2
Run
Comments: I hadn't run at all for 5 weeks before this race because of achilles tendonitis and didn't want to have it flare up before the race. So I am pleased with my time which was over 5 minutes faster than last year. I still feel I can't run to my potential in a triathlon. Running is by far my strongest discipline and yet when you look at the rankings it's the worst of the 3! What would you do differently?: Not get injured before the race. Post race
Warm down: Massage What limited your ability to perform faster: My achilles tendonitis and lack of run fitness Event comments: I had a goal of sub 3 hours (32 swim 1:35 bike 50 Run 3min transitions) Though I think that went out the door with my injury. I am happy with my performance and a 9 minute improvement over last year. Looks like I'll have to wait until next year to go sub 3 hours. :) Last updated: 2007-12-19 12:00 AM
