Step 1 - Leather Lounge suite
So which did you ride? I would've ridden the old bike, but I believe in not doing new things on race day and I like torturing myself with denial.. if only it worked with chocolate as well.. hippy Broke the golden rule of raceday and rode the new bike. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Rode down to the race to give me a chance to get used to STI, which on top of 40km ride yesterday left me a bit tired for the race. But the bike rolled so smoothly even on that crap Boulevard surface that I didn't feel tired till the second run, although the ride home left me totally knackered. Didn't have the bike computer on (was still trying to swap it between bikes at midnight last night) but I think I was averaging about 32kmh and in a tri on my old bike I would usually be around 28kmh, so I've gotta be happy wiht that. God it was cold though, especially in bike shorts and sleveless top, brrrrrr. DaveB |

My race report-ish: http://www.thehippy.net/nucleus/index.php?itemid=31 My computer said I averaged ~35kph but the results say 28kph which must include the transitions. So, without the guy who was disqualified for taking a shortcut and the guy who was faster swapping shoes.. I had the fastest bike time :-) Results: http://www.genisys.com.au/trivicdu_2004_r3_oall.htm Twas cold in only knicks and jersey.. 4degC average my Polar reported. hippy |

As for the timing, if they used a timing chip in a band around your ankle, then the time will be recorded on that. The positioning of the sensor will then determine whether the bike leg included the transition time. In your case, the answer is probably yes. Did you run in padded knicks? I prefer the unpadded kind for short tri/duathlons... Ritch. 4 degrees! Brrr! -- ritcho |

ritcho As for the timing, if they used a timing chip in a band around your ankle, Wrist tag, manual timing, no sensors. The positioning of the sensor will then determine whether the bike leg included the transition time. In your case, the answer is probably yes. I'm sure it includes the transitions. There's no way I was that slow. My Polar says ~35kph average too which sounds closer to the truth. Did you run in padded knicks? I prefer the unpadded kind for short tri/duathlons... Yeah. I was expecting to race a crit straight afterwards and bike knicks are not going to hamper _my_ running hippy -- hippy |

Wrist tags were checked at the end of the first run prior to entering the transition area, and then again on exiting the transition area for the second run. DaveB |

I wish they would make my already crap run times look worse rather than always picking on the bike leg - the only part I care about! :-P hippy the un-runner |
