PM update: Milliseconds has posted the results. I had a 1:03.46. I took first in my age group--which was a surprise. I posted the fasted bike second fastest run and and third fastest swim in my age group. There were only 19. I had the 15th fastest run and the 13th fastest bike overall. So I feel good about the AG win. The previous two years, this age group has been more competative.
AM report: I did pretty good, with the conditions--maybe a high bronze or silver preformance. Not Gold. My time was 1:03.13 (by my watch) so I will have to compare that with other times. It was a windy cold tri, and it was a reverse tri--run, bike swim. I know I did pretty good on the run, 19:15 on the 5K-- the bike was hard, up hill into the wind, but I timed a 34:30. My first lap was 17:30, and then I did a 17:00. I was smarter on the second lap. I greared down up hill and competed better on the flat.
My swim was 6:14--Kind of disappointing, but I was tired from the run and bike.
They had four wave starts, with slowest going first and fastest swim going last. I missed the last wave by two people, so I was in the third wave. I finished 8th all together. There were 2 from my wave that beat me, two from the last wave and then 3 from the first two waves. So the question is, how many from the last wave finished within 3 minutes of me finishing, and if I was with in the start time on the three others that started before me. |
