It's great to be back in the triathlon scene. It was a short, about half a sprint triathlon and I felt balanced on all sides. I registered late so I was put in the last heat. I was about third in my heat out of the pool, which has never really been my strength but it's a getting closer. After the swim we had to quickly dry off and run about 300 meters outside from the HPER building to the Nelson Fieldhouse, probably the fastest I've ran heading towards the Fieldhouse. On the bike some people had a two minute advantage on me but I was the first one out of the bike. The bike was on stationary bikes in the middle of the indoor track. The resistance didn't help you go faster so everyone had it on the easiest resistance, thus I averaged about 40 mph the whole five miles, talk about inflation. The run was two miles on the indoor track at the nelson Fieldhouse and I was familiar with it, having done it this past Saturday. A little side ache on the run but nothing that really made much of a difference. I finished third behind Paul and some other guy. They were in other heats and just owned me in the transitions and swim. I plan to improve on both of those, one being an easy fix, the other I'll have to spend some time on. Results haven't been posted yet but I was somewhere in the 27s and as far as I know, third. |
