Pretty good swim, missed draft on 2nd place swimmer. Swam straight at steady pace. Tough seeing into the sun on the exit.

Nothing. Pretty good swim

Good ride, only got passed by two guys. Headwind home slowed me up a bit.

Made turn into the transition area street & the bike dismount was right there, only got one shoe out. Ran with one shoe still on. Pretty slow T2 overall.

Get shoes out earlier.

Usual crappy run. One late Spring & July calf issues limited my run training.
Post race
Warm down:

Hydrate, banana, big breakfast out with family.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of run training this year. Hopefully I'll resolve calf issues and get back on track with my running. Pretty happy with my swim & my bike is improving.

Event comments:

Great job for first year race at this ventue. It was nice to have the 40+ in the 2nd wave. A beautiful September AM for a race.
