it's really great to see improvement, isn't it! Makes you feel like you're accomplishing your goals. So, your second race and you're already doing olympic distance? That's great! Keep it up and let us know how your next race goes.

Congrats dcj. 36 mins must be a 20%+ improvement. GREAT JOB! A little factoid... It takes 18% more energy to go 4% faster on the bike at 25 mph. It takes 18% more energy to run 11% faster on flat ground. It takes 4% more energy to run the same pace for each 1 degree incline. Ergo 20% is rockin!
