    2/8 - Swim, 1.6km
    5/8 - Cycle, 53km (commute to work/back)
    6/8 - Swim, 1km
    8/8 - Swim 750m, cycle 20km, run 5km


    Swim - 3.35/5km
    Cycle - 73/250km
    Run - 5/40km



    1'42:03. Exited the water in 1453rd place (1780 starters). Finished 836th. Hit my top 50% objective (scraped through).Not a bad recovery!

    Suffered terrible cramp in my calves in the swim and halfway through cycle. Transitions went well, huge transition area and long route through it!

    Swim was actually a PB at 22'21, even though I was in so much pain!! Still, didn't give an inch, held my space. I expected to be behind at this point.

    T1, under 4 mins, 305th fastest (yay!)

    Cycle I was a couple of mins shy of target at 42mins, partly due to coasting downhill so I could stretch out the cramps. Passed a lot of people running towards mount, through the ride, and running in from dismount.

    T2, 3 mins.

    Run was crap - 30m exact. I had planned for 26.

    Was aiming for 1'40. I'll take 1'42. Im sure I can do better, but in light of those calf cramps which were horrendous, I did ok!


    It's now 2am and I think the caffeine based energy gels have just kicked in...

    Turned in a solid performance at the Pittsburgh triathlon today. Unfortunately, although I earned a 2nd place medal for my age group, I had to leave early to drive to Virginia for a wedding and didn't get to collect my first piece of hardware.

    Swim start was botched by the organizers, but was happy with my bike (19/244 on a $170 bike), run (21/244 @ 7:03/mile) and transitions (fastest T2, and T1+T2 overall). Highlight of the race was passing 4 $3000+ cervelo P3/5s at the end of a long 5 mile climb on my (upgraded) $170 Walmart road bike.

    600m swim + long run to T1 - 12:48 (64/244)
    Transition 1 (just remove wetsuit/put on shoes) - 0:48 - (12/244)
    20km bike (long climb then long decent) - 36:52 (19/244) 20.3mph
    Transition 2 (rack bike, take off helmet, no shoe change) - 0:28 (1/244!)
    5k run (just one short 30' climb, otherwise flat) - 21:54 (21/244) @ 7:03/mile
    Overall: 1:12:41, 19/244, 3rd age group/17 (won 2nd age group prize as age winner was an overall top 5)

    8/1 - 50 mile bike, 3 mile run
    8/2 - 6 mile run, 1 mile swim
    8/3 - 30 min lift
    8/4 - 12 mile run, 15 mile bike
    8/5 - 5.5 mile run, 11 mile bike
    8/6 - 8 mile run (w. 8x800s at 6:22/mile pace), 14 mile bike
    8/7 - 14 mile bike, 0.5 mile swim, 45 min lift
    8/8 - 5 mile bike (to start), 0.4 mile swim, 12 mile bike, 3 mile run

    Total: 38 mile run, 121 mile bike, 1.9 mile swim, 2 lift
    Goal: 140 mile run, 500 mile bike, 10 mile swim, 9 lift
    Remaining: 102 mile run, 379 mile bike, 8.1 mile swim, 7 lift

    Lol! I'm finding it quite hard to understand the results page (or believe some of them).

    Summary - 1747 starters, 1753 finishers (??)

    3rd place finisher has a 19min swim, 22 minute cycle, 21mins run. But is only showing a single cycle lap! (20km cycle, overall winner clocked 33min cycle).

    He was apparently 10 minutes faster on the bike than anyone else in the top 10, but 5 mins slower on the swim?

    Same story with the guy in 13th overall....

    I honestly do not believe that they are doing 60kph. And both showing a single cycle lap.

    Maybe next year I'll do a single lap too!

    Usually for the sake of expediency race organizers post results first online, but would likely have knocked out the off results (via timing mat checks) prior to issuing awards at the podium.

    Congrads on making it through your first! Ended up with a flat tire on my first sprint triathlon last year (same race I did this past weekend), but glad you see you managed to make up for your swim in the Transitions & Bike segments! Having gone from a bottom 50% result last year to a top 10% one this year on my second sprint tri, it is definitely feasible, so keep it up!

    Crikey, top 10% in your second is amazing!!! Bloody well done!
    Well, that's not going to happen for me, body has been too badly broken up over the years! But happy to make steady progress and beat myself :)

    @gobonas99 sounds like an awesome Tri. That 75 minute 40k was super-impressive.

    Just got in 15 miles of biking (commuting) and 8 miles of running today. Going to return to the water & weight room tomorrow along with a run and bike. Looks like if I can pile on the running miles when up north this week, and do the same on the bike next week when back in the hot south, I'll squeeze by with my goal.

    8/2 - 6 mile run, 1 mile swim
    8/3 - 30 min lift
    8/4 - 12 mile run, 15 mile bike
