Big Cow Sprint 2 – 2010
by Matt on Jul.08, 2010, under Results
Wow. Been busy since Sunday. Anyway, first Open Water Tri Sprint done!
How did it go? Not too bad, these were my splits
Swim (750m) : 16.04
T1 : 02.00
Ride (20k) : 38.44
T2 : 01.09
Run (5.5k) : 25.07
Total : 1.23.04
My pool sprint Tri at Roade last year was 1h22m, and the run there was much shorter than 5k. So all in all I’m quite happy. Afterwards I thought I could have probably pushed a bit harder in all stages. And a few simple changes in T1 would knock off 30 seconds (forego socks for sprints, remember to leave helmet strap unclipped etc.).
I was a little disappointed with the run, although apparently it was slightly longer than the standard 5k. The watch says my 5k came up in 24:11. I seemed to flag a bit in the middle.
So next up is MK Tri in a couple of weeks time.
