Comments:

I was never comfortable in this swim, and I'm not sure why. My pace was bad, my form was off...just a bad day in the water.
Transition 1
  • 01m 33s
Comments:

The transition area for this race is very odd. It's on the side of a hill & the racks are placed all over. They tried to organize it, but I think it's just a bad spot to place the transition area.

Comments:

I pretty much knocked this one out of the park; it helps that this is area I'm familiar with from the DA group rides. No complaints here.
Transition 2

Run
  • 28m 9s
  • 3.23 miles
  • 08m 43s  min/mile
Comments:

I just kept pushing the whole time, trying to get max effort in. It worked out fairly well, though I had a hard time staying cool because of the heat.

Event comments:

If they had a better transition area, I'd rate this race higher. It's the only real negative I have about the race though, overall Playtri does a good job.
