Comments:

I swam tentatively and will swim harder next time. I need to sight better either people or buoys. Go out with more confidence in the swim depending on previous training to work. Simply put swim harder. Also I drifted right badly while swimming I need to practice against that tendency.

Had a great transition. Practice showed here. I like to put on my bike shoes and socks and then run with the bike.

Course along the lake was a great course two hard right hand turns. Tow loops. Only got into trouble on one right hand turn once. Had great pacing and didn't overwork or underwork. Very pleased.

Comments:

Great transition. Fantastic dismount. Practice pays off.

Comments:

Wish I had more in the tank for the run. I went out pretty strong, but had to back off because my legs just were not with me anymore. Had a strong finish at the line which means I didn't push back into race pace after some recovery.

Event comments:

Mudfest due to a weeks worth of rain falling. Very rare for that area. Race management did what they could to keep everything together. I didn't like the swim course, but it was all they could do at that moment in time. So no issues. I saw the 4 corner swim course the day before and was very happy with that. I'll be back next year to improve.

Age Group: 0/11
Overall: 0/183
Performance: Bad
Suit: no wetsuit
Course: The course had to be reset before the race opened due to lake levels rising and floating off the buoys set overnight. They only set out one WHITE buoy which I really couldn't see. It was a long triangle. Tough to find the far away buoy with no intervening buoys. Not what the organizers had intended, but what actually happened.
