Great swim... 42nd overall! Got out fast and was able to get into groove immediately... no fighting at the start. Great swim considering virtually no swim training since Pacific Crest

Comments:

Pretty decent T1... wetsuit came off fast. Need to work on getting into my shoes once on the bike - took way too long

Will need to focus on hill training for this one next year... tough course.
Transition 2
  • 01m
Comments:

59th overall after T2. Took my feet out of shoes way too early... thought I was approaching finish and had a mile to go! Overall pretty smooth - I put socks on for run, which took a bit longer than sprints where I go sockless
What would you do differently?:

no socks
Run
  • 35m 57s
  • 4.3 miles
  • 08m 22s  min/mile
Comments:

I paced myself too much in first two miles... stitch in my chest near right shoulder held me back.
I kicked it into gear with 1 mile to go and had energy to burn
What would you do differently?:

Too much pacing early on... 4.3 miles is only 1 mile longer than 5K - need to push it the whole way.
Post race
Event comments:

Fun race - well organized... nothing to do or look at afterward (booths, etc).
