Comments:

I was hugging the buoys on the way out there, and a lifeguard stopped me and told me I needed to head right. I'm not sure what the deal was but I ended up swimming quite aways out of the way because of that before the first turn. Overall I had a weak swim, I went out way too fast and it caught up with me the last 200 yards.
What would you do differently?:

Pace better, I felt like the swim was a little longer than 1/3 mile.

Overall pretty happy. Next year I want to really train hard on the bike.

  • 00m 43s
Comments:

Much better here. I need to practice getting my feet out while riding, but going down that hill at +30mph didn't seem like the best time to try it out!
What would you do differently?:

Practice.

Comments:

Brutal uphill was expected, and a great downhill leg.
What would you do differently?:

Train on more hills and track workouts.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

A cold.

Event comments:

My age group was a little slow on the top, so I was thrilled with a second place finish. That will probably be my only chance to get a prize, so I was happy with the place, content with overall time. I've really got the Triathlon bug after my fourth race now.
