Olympic


PWEI - 2:30

Any prizes for most accurate predication?
I finished in 2:30:07, my first Olympic too.
Guess I won't be winning one of the prize's though. :rolleyes:

Ok, Comparison time....

In fairness weather aligned with the moon and the stars so no excuses there.
A bike mishap lost me a bit, and a run fade but relatively close all round

Swim - 24:20
T1 - 01:10
Bike - 1:01:10
T2 - 01:10
Run - 36:52

Total - 2:04:42

Gotta be ambitious

PM'ing now.

Actual:
Swim - 22:29 Vs 24:20 = -1:51 seconds better! Sweet
T1 - 01:16 Vs 01:10 = 6 seconds slower. Not bad.
Bike - 1:01:47 vs 1:01:10 = 37 seconds slower. Close
T2 - 01:08 vs 01:10 = 2 seconds faster
Run - 39:22 vs 36:52 = 2mins 30 down. Poor!

Overall - 2:06:04 Vs 2:04:42 = 1 min 22 seconds down.

What do I win???

I was about 7 mins quicker than my guess, so I await a shattering by somebody with an 8 minute difference!

I must be in with a strong chance for the failure award. :cool:

Based on my Joey Hannon sprint time on 1:45 and Athy being my first Olympic I estimated on the 2nd May that I would hopefully do 3:20.

This went out the window on Saturday when my chain came off at the start of the bike while going up to the big ring and I only managed a time of 3:01:59 :D:D

18:01 quicker than my predicted time.

don't worry, I have never won anything in my life so no doubt someone will have done better

miller82

I predicted 2.55 based on it being my first Olympic triathlon and having been injured for the last month and getting no running done. Managed a 2.29, so 26 mins quicker than predicted

Wishful thinking does pay off!! Still have preferred to finish with 1:25 though...
Still happy I got my first tri done and my diabolical swim hasn't put me off going again!

Thanks!
