Met up with Ironmom and swam over at Belmont Shore. First time in over a decade I've swam farther than 20 feet.
Let's just say I have some training to do.

Thanks - definitely need practice. I guess I'll use this thread to update progress. As I mentioned in the cardio thread I've been struggling with some soreness in the left knee. So switching gears for the Tri will be a welcomed change. My plan:
Mon - Run Tue - Strength & Elliptical Wed - Run Thu - Strength & Elliptical Fri - Swim (& run if feeling OK) Sat - Rest or easy run Sun - Strength & Ellyptical
Kids will be with me every day except Friday.

13/39 is a fine effort, IMHO. You're well ahead of that "just happy to finish" crowd. Nice job.
Dumb question--how do you get the splits and the transition times?

You wear ankle RFID chip/timer thingy and each area you pass through stops/starts the timer on that segment. Thanks for the kudos btw... I was just bummed I blew up on the swim lol. I already know im a slow biker and jogger hah. I guess that's the nature of this 'sport', I don't take the swim leg seriously since I expect to win my wave. I think I will slow the fuck down now on this leg. My next one is alcatraz July 20 which is at least (depending on current) 3x as far. But the risk of me going out on a ~1:00 100y pace is going to be roughly zero.
But after that I have a sprint again in Santa Cruz (sandman/ocean swim) in aug followed by my first olympic tri also in Santa Cruz in sept. So a few more opportunities to get the pacing right. I tried a HR monitor for this one and it slowed me down a little in transition but whatever, was just curious. Averaged 150 for the bike+run together... Bike around 145 and run around 155, was just trying to evaluate my HR zones for training purposes. 150 is a nice round number to use but I'm thinking 155 is my anaerobic threshold based on avging 150 HR for 62 minutes including T2. Not really sure tho
