Pewaukee Sprint Tri report. July 10 2011
Swim / 440 yards
Bike 16 miles
Run 3.1 miles
I started off this morning in the 6th wave. Hit the water and everything was fine till just before the second turn buoy. Things got congested and I was forced to back off a bit at the turn and again the last 50 yards to the beach. My swim was disappointing at 08:52. T-1 went pretty smooth and I was out on the bike in 01:18. Felt good on the bike but once again had to slow up at some of the turns for less experienced riders. It takes a lot of effort to get the speed and cadence going again and is one of the main reasons I don't care for sprint tri's. Made it through the bike course in 46:02.1 for 20.3 mph avg. T-2 01:30.6 what can I say, I like to wear socks and it takes time to get them on! Out on the run course, mile one was killing me as I was a little sick to the stomach and it is very much uphill. Hit the mile 1 marker @ 9 minutes. I needed to pick it up and really tried hard. By mile 2 things were pretty good and I took it home to the finish. Run time ...00:25:30.1 for a 8:13 / mile pace.
Finish results...01:23:13.5
Overall place 162 out of 1259
Division place 136 out of 640 males
Age group Place 9 out of 59 M 50-54
I cut 12 minutes off last years time of 1:35:22
