1.5 bowls of Cheerios and 1/2 pb sandwich, lots of water 2hrs before.

Rode bike, light stretching.
Swim
  • 24m 49s
  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 31s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim was ok; first ocean swim of the year, but I followed someone most of the time, and was ok. Buoys were impossible to see. Made a navigation error coming back...to close to shore, then had to swim out to hit buoy.
What would you do differently?:

Stop and breast stroke to find buoy.
Transition 1
  • 01m 22s
Comments:

Ok, a few extra seconds getting wetsuit off of heels.
Bike
  • 58m 57s
  • 21 miles
  • 21.37 mile/hr
Comments:

At first felt a little dead on the bike...this took about 10mins to fade, then felt stronger. Should have pushed harder...was about 5 bpm below LT (but I felt like I was going strong). Need to increase suffering index.
Transition 2
  • 00m 26s
Comments:

I am pretty sure this time is wrong...most likely the bike was shorter.
Run
  • 31m 54s
  • 5.8 miles
  • 05m 30s  min/mile
Comments:

I ran this fast, but not 5:30 fast. Something was wrong with the timing, I think.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing; run was strong.
Post race
Warm down:

Did another race: "Dash for Cash"

Event comments:

Ok event; need larger buoys in ocean and the roads were really rough in spots. A good day, though (great weather).
