First Tri of the State Series
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 10:50 am
I've entered the state Tri series and we had the first race yesterday in near perfect conditions. 750 meter swim, 20k ride and a 5k run. With 88 entrants the transition area and getting a good run out of the transition was important to bike racking was important.
Our team finished 4th, we were 40th off the bike after my ride. it was a 5k circuit, the turn at the 2.5k mark. The road was fairly narrow so the turn was really tight, I came into one turn and nearly lost the rear wheel.
I had a goa of 33mins or under and I lost that goal, bit disappointed but there was a slight headwind on the return lap of the circuit.
Distance 20.80kms
Time 35:19
Avg Speed 35.33 kmh
Max Speed 41.49
Avg Heart Rate 171
Max heart Rate 184
Cadence 93
I still need a pair of aero bars, also a set of carbon wheels would be nice!
