Comments:

Probably my worst swim yet. It was my first OWS of the year and I was trying my new technique and it didn't really work, but I wanted to stick with it. With the exception of the last 300-500m I never felt comfortable.
What would you do differently?:

Practice my new technique. I learned it three weeks ago. It will take time, but I know it will be effective.

Pretty good bike for me. My goal was to average over 20mph, which I did. My legs felt a little dead for the first 3-4 miles, but loosened up. Cracked the 40mph mark again. That's fun :)
What would you do differently?:

Train more.
Transition 2
  • 01m 22s
Comments:

Good T2. Wore socks which slowed me down, but I still got a blister on my right foot. Ouch!
What would you do differently?:

Get used to not wearing socks with my New Balance shoes.

Comments:

My goal for this run was to keep the pace under 8 minutes and I did. I was very happy with that. I beat my previous time by almost 4 minutes! That's a ton for me!!! Very happy!!
What would you do differently?:

Run faster next time!!
Post race
Warm down:

Talked with Matt M. Grabbed some fruit snacks and cookies and loaded up the car because I had to teach a golf lesson at 2pm.

Event comments:

As usual, another great race by SetUp.
