Chain of Lakes Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Staggered start, 3 in the lane. I was the last, caught up before the first 100. Eventually we lined up and swam parts of the lanes rather than circle swimming. I hovered without passing for 2-3 laps and should have made a pass. Counter did not dip numbers into water thus judging speed and remaining distance. I did fall a little back, but finished strong.

Pass earlier, push a bit harder in the middle section, still felt like I left some to be desired.

Interesting with the wind... bike was on the opposite end of the rack from where I parked it. Wind blew it down, helmet was another 10 feet away. Damn Wind!

Putting a long sleeve shirt on wet was ugly, too much time. I was highly distraught due to the bike issues.

Turns out the wind ended up bending up my cockpit, significantly, had to push it down on the bike while riding.

Fix helmet a bit better on the bike to secure.

Huge FN winds. 25 MPH w/ 35 MPH gusts. Rode with disc cover, was good 95% of the time, I wish I knew what it would have been like without it. Only felt one gust that almost knocked me sideways.

Push harder, 208 Average Power, could have done more... read on.

Pretty good all around.

One stutter when I tried to put on the race belt in transition, big no no.

Started out 6 min miles, forced myself to slow down, but I felt strong on the run. The start felt a little clunky, but I held pace. Best segment of the day for me.

Push a bit harder in the middle of the run.

Good race, outside of conditions, it was a good race.
