Comments:

Overall, I was happy with the swim. I cut over four minutes off last year's time. I felt stong and my breathing was good. I had trouble sighting. The lake was muddy due to heavy rain the night before. I got off course rounding the last bouy. I had to stop, remove my goggles, and get back on course.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure I clean my goggles well before the race. Not sure this would make that much of a difference since the lake was muddy, but it could only help.

Comments:

This is a fast bike course. I avg 20 mph on the bike for the first time. Cut over five minutes off last year's time. However, still was passed often. Still, I was happy with the bike performace.
What would you do differently?:

Out the three legs, this is where I can improve the most. I need to work on using the larger gears during down hills and flats. I hardly use them now. I mostly use the smaller gears. I'm leaving a lot of time out there by not using the larger gears. Need to practice using those larger gears.

Comments:

I purchased lace lock shoe laces and they worked very well. Saved me a lot of time in T2.

  • 07m 31s  min/mile
Comments:

Cut nearly one minute off last year's time. It took me a little bit of time to get my legs under me. Overall, I am happy with the run.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more often on tired legs.
