Swim
Comments: lots of contact early and some contact throughout. I had trouble early with my goggles fogging and when I got that fixed I couldn't get them to seal properly. I had to have lost quite a bit of time dealing with that! After, I got into a pretty good rhythm and my sighting was good and my navigation decent. my swim time was great, a good 5 minutes better than I was expecting What would you do differently?: hope for better behaved goggles Transition 1
Comments: not my fastest possible, but I was more interested in being ready to ride than I was in blowing it out 6/41 AG 440 OA What would you do differently?: blow it out Bike
Comments: it was my plan to take this at less than my max so that I'd have a good amount left for the run. I managed to fly through some of the spots that always gave me trouble on the training rides. got a great time, even with coasting most of the big descents. great ride! What would you do differently?: go harder Transition 2
Comments: like T1, my intent here was to be ready to run, not blow it out 7/41 AG 392 OA What would you do differently?: blow it out Run
Comments: started out and knew right away that it wasn't going to be as easy as my training run. I was moving pretty slow on the climbs, but kept good speed everywhere else. I pushed up the pace on the last mile or so. Good run Post race

into bed around 10, actually slept pretty well. up at about 3:30. Breakfast (Cheerios, Special K shake, decaf coffee). Out the door about 4:50. arrived at Centennial about 5:20. pumped up the bike tires, set up my transition area, and then brought my bag and swim stuff over to the club tent.
took it pretty easy, talked with friends and club members, and then got suited up for a 6:55 swim start
