Comments:

an average swim for me. had hoped to be a little faster but kind of sums up the way I am swimming right now
What would you do differently?:

improve my technique, spend more time in the pool
Transition 1

with swimsuits not allowed t1 was pretty quick. Transitions on this course will vary a lot based on the location of your rack as you can have a long run with your bike on the way in and way out
What would you do differently?:

nothing

Comments:

knew I had to make some ground up on the bike and run bc I am bad at the swim. I did not get passed during the bike and was flying by people.

the time includes a short run with bike from t1 to mounting area and from dismount to t2.

computer was out throughout ride, so I rode on feel
Transition 2
  • 01m 6s
Run
  • 20m 43s
  • 3.12 miles
  • 06m 38s  min/mile
Comments:

ran well from the start. passed one person in my age group in the first 100 yards. everyone else I passed was in earlier age groups. I never noticed/saw the leader in my ag.
this is my fastest 5k ever, let alone in a tri. I am pretty confident I can go quicker in a tri
Post race
Warm down:

waited for my girlfriend to finish and ate the post race food
talked to my sister and mom who came to cheer for Christine and I.

Event comments:

Christine and I both had very good races. This is the first time that I placed in my ag.

This is 2 races in a row with very good results. The bike and run continue to improve. Swim still needs lots of help
