Comments:

The swim was over before I realized it. I kind of lost myself during the swim and didn't think about my stroke, rotation, breathing.
What would you do differently?:

Better strategy. Need to work on speed as well as technique.
Transition 1
  • 01m 56s
Comments:

Transition time was improved by showing up early and getting a good rack position. Bike tights got stuck on my heel - lost a little time. A better mounting process would be good, too.
What would you do differently?:

Need to get rid of the need for tights - tri suit. Drop the HRM? Learn to jump on bike.
Bike
  • 38m 56s
  • 12.6 miles
  • 19.42 mile/hr
Comments:

Bike wasn't bad, but no real improvement over last fall. Needed to drink more - a little dehydrated.

Official speed was 20.0 MPH, but I think the course is actually 12.6 miles and not 13.0.
What would you do differently?:

Need to push harder on the bike without causing my run to suffer. Bricks???
Transition 2
  • 01m 58s
Comments:

Fingers are always a little slow in T2. Invest in yanks.
Run
  • 23m 2s
  • 3 miles
  • 07m 41s  min/mile
Comments:

I faded in the middle and was able to pick it up near the end. Ended strong. A little dehydrated.

Official pace was 7:20, but I think the actual distance was 3.0 miles, not 3.1.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder toward Z4 especially that last mile.

Event comments:

Well organized and good pancake breakfast at the end. I'd do this one again. Hopefully, the roads will be repaired next time around.

A comparison to last fall:
