Swim
  • 16m 55s
  • 880 yards
  • 01m 55s / 100 yards
Comments:

Took around 4 min off my time last year.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure. Just happy it wasn't 20 min.
Transition 1
  • 00m 38s
Comments:

While I would like to think Im this fast it is obviously wrong. No human could go through a transition that size in 38 sec.
Bike
  • 1h 07m 50s
  • 24.5 miles
  • 21.67 mile/hr
Comments:

I'm pretty sure that my transition times where in this, bc my watch has a totally different time and they make my t1 and t2 really short.
Transition 2
  • 00m 4s
Comments:

Again no way humanly possible that I could go through this transition area or any other for that matter in 4 seconds.
Run
  • 41m 46s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 06m 44s  min/mile
Comments:

Tough first half bc it was mostly up hill but the last half was fast and felt good.
What would you do differently?:

Push the first half like the second. I ran a 22 min 5k and then 20 for the second. I should have done both near 19.
Post race
Warm down:

No warm down today.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My mindset.

Event comments:

One of the best races in the south. Must do for me every year.
