Today was the full length (and then some) Danksin Sprint Triathlon rehearsal. We swam 800 meters, rode 12 miles and ran 4.05 miles (it was supposed to be 3.1 miles but it got miscalculated). I am pleased with my results as they are improved over my race times from last year. Next Sunday is the actual race and I anticipate on improving again.
Last years splits
Swim: 18:02
T1: 5:04 (no wetsuit)
Bike 59:30 (12.1 mph)
T2: 2:55
Run 38:13
Total: 2:03:45
Today's rehearsal splits
Swim: 15:35:80 (I anticipate this to be down in the 14:00 range on Sunday as I swam off course fairly far twice and it cost me a lot of time)
T1: 3:24:41 (with wetsuit)
Bike: 48.17.11 (I anticipate this improving a few minutes as well. We were riding with cars and I had to stop once before I could turn because there were a few cars passing. I almost bit it right there by the cars, too, that sucked. Additionally, I was tired and so on the last half I didn't go as hard as I was going. Had I maintained pace, I would have done it in about 42 minutes. I am hoping for 45 or 46 minutes on Sunday.)
T2: (had to find a bathroom and then stop to pee--TIME KILLER--but I couldn't pee in the water earlier!!): 4:09:38
Run: (this was 4.05 miles, not 3.1 as in the race last year): 40:07:24, WHICH MEANS my pace is about 10 minutes per mile, so on Sunday I expect that I will pull down 10 minute miles, or better if my body feels good and my attitude isn't shit.)
Total: 1:52:30
So, if you take off a 10 minute mile, that's 1:42:30, which is about a 20 minute difference over last year. Not bad!
