Swim Goal: 17:00
I swam 7:45 at Pardeeville, but I'm pretty sure that 'quarter-mile' was pretty short. I can't swim 7:45 in a pool, and open water is generally slower. Anyway, I timed a half-mile today and came through in 17:20. I'd be doing really well to swim 17:00 in open water, but wearing a wetsuit will help, and if I swim my best I could do it.
T1: 1:15
It's hard to have a concrete goal because I don't know how far it is between the beach and the transition. I could drop a ton of time here compared to Pardeeville, though. Depending on how much distance I have to cover, I could probably get through in under 1:15.
Bike: 40:00
The course is described as pretty flat with a few hills. I went too slow on the bike in Pardeeville because I didn't know the course, and I definitely could have gone way faster. If I average ~22 mph on the bike, that will put me at 40-41 minutes. Again, it depends on the course.
T2: 0:45
I should fly though this, especially with a better dismount.
Run: 25:20
I should be able to run 6:15-6:20 miles. I am getting better and better at running off the bike, so I shouldn't have to run the first mile as slow as in Pardeeville. I am also getting more and more confident for the swim and bike, and will probably do some speedwork before the next tri.
Total Time: 1:24:30
Thats exactly 10 minutes faster for 1/4 mile longer swim, and 1 mile longer run. That means I need to drop about 4 minutes between the bike, transitions, and run relative to Pardeeville. I guess we will just wait and see :)
