Comments:

Guy in front of me swam away, which is good. Came up on one guy. As I got to him, he was passing a dude BACKSTROKING. Passed between the two of them (since nobody was close behind).

Passed another guy who I tapped and he let me pass at the wall.
What would you do differently?:

Could have done more training this year, but it works at the margins. Shaving would be 20 second bonus, probably.

Comments:

As usual, bike was a weakness. Though not as much as usual. Did better training. Of course, could always do more (or get a new bike, but that's unlikely)

Run
  • 23m 54s

Comments:

Normally I do much better in the run, compared to my AG. Just good runners this year? Maybe I didn't push myself hard enough in the first half. May need to do more bricks next year so I have a better idea what my pace should be in a tri, not just standalone.
Post race
Event comments:

Nice day. Did well without killing myself, though maybe I should have pushed harder on the run. Too steady, perhaps?

Either way, kept it together for a good AG finish, and not much I could do to change the results either way.

Barely sweaty, since it was cool and windy.

Performance: Good
18.5 mph based on my computer (but it also said 17.8 miles, so...)
Wind: Strong
Course: Wind made the difference today. Just hard to make up what it takes away, and since it was from the north -- most has been south during training -- just a bit different. Passed a few folks, but only got passed once or twice by people actually on my lap.
