Chattanooga Waterfront Triathlon

This was the 4th Olympic-distance triathlon I've done this year, after Knoxville, Memphis, and Quassy. Today's times are pretty comparable (as in, little improvement) to those races.
  • Knoxville (5-9-10): 2:41:01, 8 of 16 (AG), 39 of 107 (females), 164 of 359 (OA)
    female winner: 2:03:48
  • Memphis (5-23-10): 2:35:49, 25 of 56 (AG), 92 of 388 (females), 395 of 1,119 (OA)
    female winner: 2:05:55
  • Quassy (6-05-10): 2:53:05, 6 of 25 (AG), 23 of 134 (females), 112 of 375 (OA)
    female winner: 2:27:58
  • Chattanooga (7-12-10): 2:41:26, 13 of 66 (AG), 57 of 406 (females), x of 1,234 (OA)
    female winner: 2:13:41; AG winner: 2:28:57
Today's time was good enough for 13th in my age group of 66. Not quite the 5th place or higher that I was hoping for, but I felt like I raced well and went about as fast as I could on that course.

Stats from the watch and the Garmin (full results and stats to come):
  • Swim: 25:41 (I thought my time was about 23 minutes); T1: 2:33
  • Bike: 1:22:01 (watch); 1:20:22 (Garmin), 1:14:54 (results); 25.84 mi, 19.3 avg (40.1 max), 1,676 cal, 160 HR (187 max); T2: 4:57
  • Run: 53:21; 8:31, 8:29, 8:15, 8:27, 8:36, 9:25, 1:38
  • Swim: 23 of 68; fastest was 20:37; T1: 20 of 68; fastest was 1:46
  • Bike: 3 of 68; fastest was 1:12:47 (Mindy)
  • Run: 17 of 68; fastest of 43:44
  • Fastest bike for females was 1:07:41; I was 19 of 406 for bike time!
