| warmup swim before triathlon start... |
| Swimming race 9:50 [4] 0.33 mi (29:47 / mi) | |
| |
| dolphined the shallows at the start and got out ahead of my heat of 50 plus participants (USAT rules call that you compete in the age you are at the end of the calendar year)....concentrated on quick turnover and keeping my foot on the accelerator....popped out of the water 2nd in my AG,,,,just seconds off the lead guy....25th best split out of 379 finishers...very good swim for me... |
| transitions race 2:11 [4] | |
| |
| lost 12 seconds struggling to get my wet suit off my ankles...very ragged....and I am usually very smooth at this....saw the guy that lead the age group bike out.....I knew I really didnt have a chance to beat him (never had)... |
| Triathlon Bike race 36:26 [5] 13.0 mi (2:47 / mi) | |
| |
| very painful bike as I worked hard to turn over the biggest gear I could on this flat course....worked it very hard and managed 21.4 mph average...saw a 51 AGer (age written on calf) go by me going very hard about 4 miles in to the bike.....no way to stay with him....figured I was in 3rd now.....the same split as last year...53rd ranked split out of 379 finishers.....very happy with my effort on the bike..... |
| transitions race 1:03 [4] | |
| |
| very smooth bike to run transition.....includes lots of running.... |
| Run race 24:21 [5] | |
| |
| Ran as hard as possible and was a little sluggish......25 seconds off my split from last year but I pushed with everything I had....managed to hold off any challenge...111th of 379 on the run split....not pretty but it got the job done.....I was spent at the end...
total time 1:13:49....finished 3rd of 15 in my age group and 57th of 379 finishers in the race....
given the types of workouts I have done this year I was happy with the result..... |
