Clark Lake Triathlon

Well, the 2007 Clark Lake Triathlon has come and gone. Again, the Lions Club did a great job managing the activities. There was plenty of water during the run and the bike course well laid out very well.

The race went very well for me. I finished the 800 meter swim in 14:36 (time completing the swim). I averaged 18.8 miles / hour on the 13 mile bike route and I had a 9:30 per hour pace on the 4 mile run. My transition times averaged approximately 2 minutes. Not bad - expeience is everything.

Overall, my time was 1:39 which is a little lower than what I had expected to do. It certain inspired me to set goals to hit 1:30 next year. Lessons Learned: start the swim on the outside. It avoids alot of bumps, kicks and the general congestion on the start. Had a started on the outside and cut over, I would have had a better swim time.
