Swam comfortably. It wasn't my best swim but it sure could have been worse.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

my timing chip got taken off along with my wetsuit so I don't have accurate splits for anything beyond the swim.
Bike
  • 2h 52m 6s
  • 56 miles
  • 19.52 mile/hr
Comments:

My bike time is based off my Garmin reading so it isn't exact but it's close. I really felt like I had a good ride and was surprised. This year I was planning on being more of an ultrarunning year so I haven't gotten in much swim or bike time at all. This was a BSLT bike PR for me.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

I don't know how much time I wasted in T2 but I did waste time. For some reason I hadn't gotten my run gear ready so when I got to T2 I had to dig through my transition bag trying to find things.
Run
  • 2h 05m 14s
  • 13.1 miles
  • 09m 34s  min/mile
Comments:

Again, the time is an estimate based on the fact that the clyde who finished 8 seconds ahead of me had a time of 2:05:06. It's not very accurate but probably close enough.

Either way I had a great run, another BSLT PR performance.
Post race
Event comments:

I love BSLT 70.3, it is a hard race but well run. Despite the fact that I beat my last BSLT time by 21 minutes and 23 seconds I still ended up 4th. My last, slower time took first place that year.
