Comments:

Started off at med/hard pace...staying comfortable. Separated from pack by 150yds. Swam straight to first turn. Was swimming with a guy, but he was swimming a crappy line home, so I picked it up a little to get some separation. Last wave, so had to swim around a few racers...not too bad though.
What would you do differently?:

Swim a harder 2nd half.

Comments:

Rode pretty hard, had some good speed on downhills(28+mph). For a three loop course, not much drafting. Did call a guy out for drafting twice(basically the entire last lap) decided not to get mad & let him cheat(even though he was in my AG) & just ride my race.
What would you do differently?:

Push it harder.

Comments:

Crappy T2, missed rack, couldn't get feet into shoes.

Comments:

Ran med. pace. Haven't ran much this summer due to calve issues. Steady, even pace. Passed last 1.0 by 2nd place AG'er.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching, hydration, food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of run training. Came out of T2 with my AG leader, but couldn't hang on the run.

Event comments:

First time for this race. Organization was good as always with DQ, plenty of food & drink after Lake a little shallow & murky, but swimable.
