Comments:

Not unexpected seeing as I haven't swam a stroke since July of last year. Started out pretty good actually, but it started to really feel like work after about the first third.
What would you do differently?:

Get in a pool/lake once in a while.
Transition 1
  • 01m 58s
Comments:

Was slow coming up the ramp from the swim, my heart rate always spikes when I come out of the water and with the lack of swim fitness, I took the run easy into T1.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster, rest of transition was pretty quick.
Bike
  • 25m 54s
  • 9 miles
  • 20.85 mile/hr
Comments:

HR was still high starting out, would have had a better average with a longer bike course. Didn't get a handle on my HR till coming back down the 2nd half of the loop. Second loop felt better.
Transition 2
  • 01m 7s
Comments:

No real issues, probably could have run faster through the transition area.
Run
  • 18m 31s
  • 2.4 miles
  • 07m 43s  min/mile
Comments:

Run was ok, especially the 2nd half. I passed several people in my AG, only got passed by another AGer about 50 yards before the finish line. I saw him coming into the shelter 8 water station as I was almost back to the road and had him in the back of my mind the rest of the course. If I would have pushed a little harder on the downhills, I might have been able to hold him off, but when he went by me, I didn't have nearly enough left in the tank to respond.

Event comments:

Well run, good atmosphere, enjoyed it. Was good to get back to racing after almost 2 years off.
