From the first race to the second I have improved. The most important one that I see is the 10 min mile average. I cut about 1 minute per mile off the average. For the bike and running I cut 4 minutes off. The swimming was reduced by 1 minute. I lost time in the transition from the previous race. The physical training I am doing is working.
| Race | Overall | Gender Place | Division Place | Swim Place | Transition 1 Place | Bike Place | Transition 2 Place | Run Place | Run Per Mile | Final Time |
| June 20th Sprint | 267 | 177 | 35 | 235 / 8:44 | 244 / 3:13 | 236 / 30:10 / 15.9 | 239 / 1:32 | 288 / 35:06 | 11:20 | 11:18.43 |
| Clear water July 11th | 204 | 138 | 21 | 162 / 7:39 | 227 / 3:14 | 131 / 26:28 / 18.1 | 316 / 3:15 | 239 / 31:23 | 10:08 | 1:11:57 |
| The NEXT RACE | 86 | 74 | 6:41 | 2:40 | 24:54 / 19.3 | 1:05 | 24:43 | 8:00 | 1:00:01 |
I want to be under 1 hour total time for the next race: Here is the plan:
- Cut the swimming transition time down to 2:00. There is a sprint from the water to the staging area; then I need to have everything setup and ready to go. In the last two races, I put on shorts and shoes, but I need to find a way to make this quicker. It might be worth it to swim in bike shorts to reduce time. I may loot at getting shoe laces that are quick tie instead of regular.
- Shoot for an average of 20 mile an hour on the bike. More leg strength training is needed. I will start to increase the weight training on the legs.
- Making the 8 minute mile. I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, but running is my weakest point. I cut 1:20 off my running average, so two minutes in 4 weeks could be done with the right leg strength training.
So that is my simple plan. 60 minutes. Its gonna be some heavy training for the next few weeks. I love this stuff.
