Marshman Triathlon 2012

I completed my third Marshman yesterday and was pleased with the results 1:03:24, 6th/49 in my age and 31st/389 overall.  Podium has to be a goal for next year.  My dad also did great in his first tri, 1:14:17 and 11th in his age group.  He is now hooked and looking to do more next year.

AM: 6.5 Miles 22:15

Finally cool here, actually a little cold when I started.  I had the first incident of someone yelling at me during my commute, they felt I didn't stop sufficiently at a stop sign - as they rolled through it to yell at me.

Here is a race recap from Adirondack Daily Enterprise: link
North Country Public Radio: link

I still haven't seen any results posted, I am curious how everyone did.  I do know a lot of boats were pulled on the second day.

Bike 120907

AM: 6.5 Miles 22:30

It dried up but it is still crazy humid - when is fall going to be here.

Marshman Practice

I practiced the full Marshman course (minus the swim).  I set up my bike and gear in the field for transition, stripped down to my tri shorts and started at the beach where the swim exits.  The transition went well, my getting strapped into the bike shoes while riding was so-so.  I need to take the extra second to get my first foot fully strapped before taking off.

The ride was good, I slowed down twice because I wasn't sure of two turns.  Overall it took 38:02 which is 1min slower than I need.  Hopefully with others on the course I can lower that by a minute.

The second transition was a little off, I had to put my bike in the car but I felt the time was accurate ~2min, which is about 1 min slower than the last few transitions I did at Marshman.

Run was good - 13:10 which is 30 seconds slower than I wanted but was all I had in the tank.

Total time for the effort was 54:36 and assuming an 8 min swim it will put me around 1:02 min.  Would be happy with that.

Finally dried up and I was able to ride into work.  Tested the new aerobars, need to make a couple of small adjustments tonight.

Just missed 18 min going home, need to keep pushing.

90 Miler starts tomorrow

Great article about the 30th year on the Adirondack Daily Enterprise: link.   It mentions some fun facts about long participating paddlers.

Same article also appeared in the Lake Placid News: link

My dad is heading up today to pit crew for a C4, hopefully we will be there next year.

Aerobars

I finally got a set of aerobars for my bike.  I decided on Profile Design's T1+ which I picked up during Performace Bike's Labor Day sale.  I even wrapped them myself when I mounted them.  Of course it has been raining since I got them so I haven't had a chance to try them out with the exception of testing the mounting on my street.

Run 120904

Ran 3.33 miles in 25:22, 7:37 pace.  It was miserably humid this morning.  It is amazing how much my time drops with temperature/humidity increases.  My best time for this course is 22:47 - almost 3 min faster.

Run 120931

Ran 2.07 miles with my dad in 16:52 to help him train for Marshman.

Run 120830

Ran 3.43 miles in 24:47, a 7:13 pace. Ran at night for the first time in a long time.
