Goal was to easy swim with the wetsuit since it has been hurting my back to swim with it. Well the faster guys got out and I didnt hang and I was stuck in the middle with no draft. Well it was slow but I didnt think I would be that slow. Passed a few heading in. Back started to hurt a little about 100 yards left but made it in ok.
What would you do differently?:

Purchase new L3/L4 disk at the Human parts store.

Long dist up hill to bikes. I walked it up. Made sure everything was ok. Hopped on the bike and took off. Trouble getting shoes on this time.

Took it easy on the way out. Too easy I guess. The first mile or so was more uphill than I realized so I thought I was doing bad and eased it back a little. I really wasnt pushing the rest of the way out and felt pretty good. Back was real good as I picked it up. Passed alot of people and only 1 person passed me but I keep him in sight. New fit feels pretty good. I hate to say but I bet there was a 5 mph diff between out and back.
What would you do differently?:

Slight more effort on the way out.

I thought this went fine. I had a bad rack spot could have went alittle faster.

Comments:

My best run ever. First race below a 30 min and I think I could have paced better. Need to listen to my body a little better and not my garmin. Seeing the low 9 pace I worried about being able to hold it and I think I could have pushed it better.
Post race
Warm down:

Food, Beer (BTW as the park ranger said No Beer in the Park) Did EvD hand it to me this time also???

Event comments:

Race was great. I like this race and I will most likely do it again even though I HATE the roads.
This is actually a C race for me and I was pretty happy with the results.
