The reality sets in – Triathlon race targets

September 19th, 2009

I’ve been researching previous results for Olympic / Standard distance Triathlon.

I’ve compared my current times to the winning female times in 2 triathlons with sea swims;

Event

Current Times

(3 weeks into training)

Target

Difference!!

1500m Swim 1 hour 25 mins 35 mins
24 mile Bike 1 hour 40 1 hour 15 25 mins
10 km Run 1 hour 40 mins 20 mins
Total 3 hours 40 2 hours 20 1 hour 20

Over 12 months I need to knock off 10 mins per month! (Roughly 3 mins per event) I have no idea if that is realistic!

I’ve got a lot of work to do!
