Overall the weather was great. It was about 60 degrees out, and the wind was very calm.
AG 17/25
Overall 153/301
Swim 300m
Rank 18
Time 7:26.95
Rate 2:48/100m
The swim went well but I hit some congestion in the last lane. The swim was in a 50m pool at the UofI ARC. It was really cool to swim in a full size pool.
T1
Rank 10
Time 2:10:00
It was a long haul from the pool to T1, and I took it really slow after the whole foot injury from last week.
Bike
Rank 6
Time 33:50.65
Speed 19.51 mph
The bike went very well. I pushed very hard and set a new average speed record for myself.
T2
Rank 22
Time 2:30:10
T2 sucked. I was the first bike back on my rack and as I racked my bike the rack fell over. I stood it back up and tried again, but it fell over again. Very frustrating, but completely out of my control.
Run
Rank 24
Time 28:33.40
Pace 9:13/mi
The run was good. Everything about it was nice and it just right. We ran through the quad, which was a very odd as it wasn't at all closed and there were students about doing their normal thing.
Total Time 1:14:31.10
Overall, my time was good. There isn't much I would have done differently. I'm very MOP in everything but the run, and I knew that going into this.
Next up..Tri-Shark!
U of I was hosting the Illinois High School State Math Contest that day. Those were definitely high school kids running around the quad! I'm currently a student here and trust me after everyone goes out Friday night, Saturday morning does not typically look like that!
ReplyDeleteExcellent race though! It was my first triathlon and I only decided to give it a shot about two weeks ago. Very fun, although I plan to actually train for my next one!
