Triathlon report

The tri was good this morning.

The swim seemed longer than before. The bike was a completely different course (with lots of climbing on a multi-loop course) and the run was different (better: completely flat along the water).

If I have things right, I think the winning 40-44 year old time was 1:15:00; My time was 1:25:00. If that's right, I could become a real contender in my elder years. I honestly think I could shave 1-2 mins from my transitions; 2-3 minutes from my run time; and 1-2 minutes from my bike time. 7 minutes puts me at a 1:18:00 -- which would be close to placing in an age group just 4 years my senior (I don't know what my age group was).

WHY DOES IT TAKE RESULTS SO LONG TO BE POSTED.

It's beyond me why it takes days and sometimes weeks to put results up on the web. In today's world, the timing company should head directly to starbucks and upload the data they have -- fine to post it as UNOFFICIAL results. We all want to look at the data today, not a few weeks from now. With the wonders of microchips it makes no sense to me (but perhaps (hopefully!) there is a good reason behind it all).

Overall I was pleased though.
