    This is very, very cool. I will post to the wiki later...how do you (or others) use this to analyze your race?

    Craig, Good stuff! But I have not found many spreadsheets that I don’t like – yes also a data geek!

    Patrick, what I look at is how balanced are my times vs others in my division. The place movements that Craig’s sheet captures does a nice job of normalizing the times into an alternative set of measures – the # passed in the event segment. Looking at my data , I see the strong need to work on my transitions, both T1 and T2 cost me places with T1 being the worst. The second thing is it reinforces that I continue to need added focus on my run as it shows as my weakest leg.

    Matt,

    A little off-topic, but in my opinion the transition issue is vastly overlooked, both here in EN and in general. How hard do you work to gain 4-5 minutes in either the bike or the run? Easy to piss that away in transition. Watch an ITU race and practice, practice, practice.

    Agree 100% ... if you are racing there is no reason not to get your t1 and t2 as fast as possible... it's litterally free time.

    Craig. thanks for doing this. Very motivational to improve transitions. Also fun to see # people passed documented.

    I have to say that I purposely took my time in transition. I changed all my cloths so I was dry at the start of the bike and run. I think I could have knocked a couple of minutes off each T1&T2. Now that I know I will be able to execute better for the nest race. I had a great time and wouldnt change much except faster transition and maybe cut 5-10 minutes off the bike. All in all my EN training got me through this race with little problems. Up next Miami 70.3 October 30th.
