Comments:

I'm still feeling sluggish and tired during my swims. I seem to be doing okay, so I think I still have a lot of potential to get faster
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Transition 1
  • 02m 6s
Comments:

Well, first I started running the wrong way, then I dropped my goggles and cap, and I had a little trouble getting off the wetsuit, so not the best overall
What would you do differently?:

know where i'm going

Comments:

Thought I did okay, clearly I need to get better here. I felt like I had good effort, but I still just don't have the speed that I need to have
Transition 2
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

lost a couple of seconds trying to get my shoes on, but not bad overall
Run
  • 22m 1s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 06s  min/mile
Comments:

I was feeling a little uneasy at the beginning of the run, and the calves were a little tight. I think my gatorade on the bike was not diluted enough. I was hoping to run a little faster after my PR the previous day, but all in all a good run
What would you do differently?:

try to push a little harder
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

training of course

Event comments:

Had to leave early, and was told I'd won my age group(since Marty Gaal was 2nd overall), but apparently I got 2nd. Good overall race, still have a lot to improve, but happy with the overall result.
