2002 Tarpon Springs Triathlon Race Report

SWIM = had to be long, around the turn, some guy kept running into me (or I kept running into him). but I felt good, and my effort was high, had to be a long course, b/c I didn't go slowly. 400 yards, 10.12, 2.33/100.

T1 = bike was right next to swim exit, which was very nice. I was faster in transitions though, all went smoothly.

BIKE = wind out, and sneaky little inclines in this race. nothing bad though. back in was going about 22-23mph. i still can't handle turns, I slow down A LOT. Got passed by one guy; he was flying. I passed a large group of about 6-8 bikers at once. That felt nice. 10.5 miles, 29.06, 21.65 mph

T2 = again, smooth. Rack was up close to dismount area. BIG benefit at the Transition. all went smoothly.

RUN = Back tight to start, but went away after about a minute. I think course was a little short, b/c I don't think I averaged 6.06 pace. felt strong throughout. Got passed by one kid (who was flying) with about 150m left. 3 miles, 18.17, 6.05 mph.

Overall, I felt good in this short race. TOTAL - 57.35
