Comments:

first ow swim of the year, water felt great! lots of contact to the first buoy. Swam the whole way without backstroke for the first time. Got a little winded at times and needed to breast stroke. Think I need to go strong at first to clear the group then settle into a groove.

Comments:

really pushed the run. High HR, in LT whole time. I'm just not a short course speedster guy. Hop I am a long course guy eventually!
What would you do differently?:

ran as well as I could. Need to train with more speed
Post race
Warm down:

sports drink, walk. Collect stuff and get out to work!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

speed on the run. I feel my swim is as solid as I can get. I'm not going to get that much faster there but I can get better conditioned so I am not dying on the run out. Bike was solid, less fluids though. Run training needs speed work.

Event comments:

good event as always. The roads around the park at the end loops are really rough.
