 Swim
Comments: This was an awful swim. It was so crowded and hard to get a line that I had to start and stop multiple times and this lead to serious fatigue. After a while I started to get that "tight wetsuit" feel which lead to more anxiety. Normally I do this swim in just over 8 minutes so I am not at all pleased with this one. What would you do differently?: Start near the front of the group to hopefully get away from the other swimmers  Transition 1
Comments: Slow T1 but I was not interested in speed here, just a comfortable change and not feeling winded right off on the bike. What would you do differently?: Nothing really  Bike
Comments: Decent bike, although the wind was pretty strong. I was doing 22-23 with the tailwind and 17ish with the headwind and that dropped to 15 on the short gradual inclines. I felt pretty good on this, pretty happy Transition 2
Comments: Decent T2, took it easy and made sure to start my run comfortable and not breathing hard. Wanted to go slow at the start of the run and finish stronger.  Run
Comments: I wanted to be wary here. I knew I would not be able to do a blistering pace (for me) on this one, just did not feel it and I have done very little speed training. Miles were consistent and dropped each time so I was happy with that. Finished strong with the best split on the 3rd mile (10:30, 10:03, 9:54). What would you do differently?: Running sucks, just get through it. Post race
Warm down: Easy walk to rest, get some water and food. Cleaned out the transition and hit the road pretty quickly. What limited your ability to perform faster: Training is not the quality I need right now. Seems I am just lucky to get anything in, need more quality workouts and start working on speed. Event comments: Always a good race to start the season with. Looking forward to doing Carlsbad in 2 months, I really want to improve on that one from year 1 where the run kicked my ass.

Got to the race a little later then I wanted to. I thought I had plenty of time but the drive was longer then anticipated. I parked well away from the transition area around 7, but my age group went off at 7:45 so had enough time to set up and relax before the start. Got the spot probably the farthest from any in/out from transition but that was fine since I had an entire rack to myself.
Easy walk and stretch before the swim. Was hoping to go without a wetsuit but the water was pretty cold.
