I don’t know if it was already posted (I couldn’t find in the search), but I’m interested to know the PR of people around here in the olympic/sprint/IM tri and their best 5k/10k time, best 100/400/1500meters swimming and best 20/40k riding.
I have a 5k PR or 17’, 10k PR of 36.
best 100m: 57’
best 400m: 4’25"
best 1500m: 17’20"
best 20k: 34’
best 40k: 1’10"
best sprint tri time: 1’06"
best olympic tri time: XX
5K- 20:09
5 Mile: 33:58
1/2 Marathon stand alone (1:45)
1/2 Marathon 1/2 IM (1:33)??? I guess I’m faster off the bike
Marathon: 4:01
100 m - 1:22
500 M - 7:45
Olympic - 2:26 (1:11 bike split for 40K)
1/2 IM - 4:57
IM - 12:20
Bike - 14 miles - 35:XX (during tri)
40K - 1:05 (during tri, aborted on run due to injury)
Swimming - About 12 min for a halfmile and 23 or so for a 1500, both during tris.
Running - 4:00.10 1500m (looked at the clock as finishing otherwise would have been 3:59.90)
4:25 indoor mile
8:37 3000m
14:52 5k, 16:40 at end of tri
31:27 10K
2:28 for a 23.8 mile hilly trail race which at least anecdotally is supposedly a rough equivilant to a road marathon.
Oly: 1:56 (very easy course…bike was perfectly flat, as was the run)
1/2IM: 4:13
IM: 9:29 (very easy course)
These times were many moons ago, back when I was young, dumb and full of c—uh, you know what I mean.
I’d just be happy to get back under 10 hours at the IM distance for next year. Getting older reminds you of how foolishly you treated your body during training back when you were younger. I’ve certainly found that out these last few years ;-))
We may be fast, but we’re stooopid, too. Especially in my case. Too much training and too much racing (I’ve done back-to-back Olys and 1/2 IMs in one weekend, and 2 IMs within a week of each other) and not enough recovery. Got myself badly injured (getting hit on the bike by a taxicab didn’t help ;-), and blew my adrenal glands to hell for a few years.
This time around, nothing but smart training and racing. And finishing healthy is my main motivation, now.
