Bleh. Not a fan of a pool swim, narrow lanes, felt very slow but looking at the times, who knows.

  • 00m 48s
Comments:

Good transition, no problems.

  • 35m 27s
  • 11.5 miles

Comments:

Thought I had a good bike, felt fine, felt like I was riding hard. I did not set my cadence/speedometer and just rode by feel.
What would you do differently?:

Looking back maybe I should have looked at the speedometer, my bike time was almost two minutes slower than last year. I have been riding twice as much so I would have thought it would have been better.
Transition 2
  • 00m 38s
Comments:

Nothing special, first race in 6 months so it was good to have a trouble free transistion.
Run

  • 07m 15s  min/mile
Comments:

Very happy with the run, I ran the same time as last year but considering my lack of running it felt great and had no hamstring issues.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched

Event comments:

Fun race, not crazy about a pool swim but once that was over you could not have asked for a better day! Weather was perfect and it was fun to race again. Good boost for White Lake.
