Comments:

Swim went OK. I haven't done any short time trial swims, so was expecting it to be slow. I think the course was shorter than advertised, though. Got to the first and second buoys well, could tell I Was passing a lot of people. Got a bit off course on the finla leg in, but finished strong, and was a couple of minutes faster than last year

Comments:

Run went well. I knew there were at least 3 of my age groupers in front of me, and could see 4-5 people in front of me coming out of T1. I was able to catch all of them before I got to the woods. Caught 3 more people coming back in the road. SLowed a littel on the hilly trails. Kept it steady all the way, though. I flet like I was going faster than I did, but I still had the 9th fastest run time out of everyone, so I guess I'm happy with that. Again, I was able to keep it just below the redline without going over it. Finished strong
What would you do differently?:

Post race
Warm down:

walked the bike back to the car, got a quick bite to eat, and drove home to shower and head back to Nashville.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

nothing

Event comments:

Good smaller race. Easy, flat course with a mostly shaded run. This was my 3rd year to do it, and I will keep coming back for it. Post race spread was nice with red beans and rice with chicken or sausage, along with plenty of fruit, etc. Close enough to Memphis as well, so you don't have to get up horribly early to get there in time.
