Comments:

Okay swim given my lack of swim time lately. Felt like I was drifting left a lot and having to correct. Return leg of the swim was straight in the rising sun, as always, which made sighting next to impossible.
What would you do differently?:

More swim training.

Not sure where this ride came from! I haven't been riding my tri bike much lately (training on road bike for charity ride) and had only gotten it out of the shop the day before the race(Felt recall). I just tried to keep my power in the 160s and not kill myself on the hills. My NP was 165 so I hit it dead on! I was pleasantly surprised entering transition when I saw my bike time was sub-48min.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Comments:

Did i mention I had a PRIMO bike rack spot right next to the bike entrance/exit. :)

Nothing

Comments:

PR (tri) 5K. Expected to really pay for the fast bike split but I felt pretty good on the run.
What would you do differently?:

Need to work on 5K speed. Don't train much for 5Ks so it's very ez to fall into HIM pace. Getting closer to 23:xx tho!
Post race
Warm down:

About passed out when I crossed the finish line! Hung out, cooled off and tried to rehydrate.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

As always...run pace.

Event comments:

One of my favorite sprint courses. Well, with the exception of the goose poop of course.
