The facts:
Swim 6:12 Pace 1:54, T1 1:54, Bike 42:02 Rate 17.1, T2 1:24, Run 27.04 Pace 8:44 - Overall 1:18:09
Place 137.
I was very please with the race. To be only 56 seconds slower than the Monster Tri in October of '06 ,which was the exact same course, surprised me. Faster swim and run, slower transitions and bike, but not by much. I have been on the only bike twice in the last 4 months. I feel like that I have a great head start on the season. Realistic Monster Goals:
Swim 6:00, T1 1:15, Bike 36:00, T2 1:00, Run 24:00 - Total 1:08:15
Even with my motto “tri-ing not so hard” I know that I will make improvements this season.
One reason for this early season race was just to get another Tri under my belt and to get a base time. There was less pre race anxiety than the other two Tri’s and everything went smoothly.
After getting up at 5:00 and racing at 7:40 and ending in less than an
hour and 20 minutes I have decided that Olympics will be done. I may be under prepared but probable better off than I was for the Texas Man Tri (my first).

Bryan very nice effort Saturday but I'm glad I have at last shamed you into setting some goals. In fact 1:08:15 is very ambitious. I like it! Now when do you want to achieve that? Monster in Oct 2007?? What about Iceman? and Old College Tri? I am thinking those are races to taget for PRs. Then it starts getting hot. Are you setting your sights on Disco for the Olympic?
I was thinking maybe Playtri in April.
What do you think?
Seems like there was some reason Playtri on 4/22 wasn't going to work for me. Also big following weekend with the Meunster Bike Rally and DeAnne's ACS track event.
Are you gonna go for the Oly at Playtri? There won't be much time to get in open water swims.
WetSuit...wetsuit...plenty of time for the open water swims! I'm starting a group for the swims-so far it's me...and OMM:-)
I think you should do it OMM!
You guys should go for it. I don't think i'll be ready. Too much on the plate already. And I don't want to buy a wetsuit this season.
