I think you'll do great!<br /><br />Lay out your gear in transition before the race start. Bring a small towel to put all of your stuff on. you want to sit down as soon as you get there after swimming, throw on the bike shoes & helmet and get out. Same after the bike, helmet off, bike shoes off, running shoes on, and get out. t-times should ideally be under 90 seconds each if your prep is good. <br /><br />a back of the pack swim speed is about 2 minutes per 100, so you will likely finish the swim somewhere in the 8 to 12 minute range. 15 mph is pretty normal average bike speed, and you can count on being about 1 minute per mile slower than normal running after that. so your bike and run estimates seem pretty solid.<br /><br />and fwiw, my first triathlon was a 400 m swim (9 minutes), 15 mile bike (1:10), and 5k run (32 minutes) plus changing clothes and making sandwiches in transition for a 2:03 finish; just good enough for almost last place overall. You're in considerably better shape than I was back then.<br /><br />Have fun at the lake!Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-72137268863519680322015-08-12T12:08:02.087-05:002015-08-12T12:08:02.087-05:00I think those are great time goals :-) Have a won...I think those are great time goals :-) Have a wonderful race, and a fun time with your family!!Jolene - EverydayFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490816021651698189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-21454116974947643762015-08-12T12:02:41.030-05:002015-08-12T12:02:41.030-05:00I'm so glad you were able to get some time off...I'm so glad you were able to get some time off to be with family :) How funny is it that I have done 5 sprint tri's (I think? or is it 4, or 6? haha) and I still have no idea how long the next one will take me!

It's always tough to guesstimate how you will do in a race because so many factors can be out of your control on race day. My fingers are crossed for a good experience! Enjoy your time at the lake, too. I'm so glad your new boss was understanding - family first!

It's hard to really know how long it will take because of the transitions but I think achieving your C goal is totally doable for you. I remember I also wanted to finish my sprint tri in under 2 hours and ended up totally smashing that goal and finishing in 1:34! However, the bike portion of my tri was only 20 km (12.2 miles!) <br /><br />Actually I just went back and re-read my triathlon race report and now I really want to do another one, I don't know why I haven't yet! Haha. <br /><br />Have a great week with your family!!
