Comments:

Pleased with my swim. Lucky to have a time, as many don't. Finished 2nd in the second group of 30-34M
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Didn't over exert and didn't have much of a problem getting around other waves.
Transition 1
  • 02m 47s
Comments:

Slow transition due to a problem with my sunglasses and aero helmet. Had to try it on a couple times to get the chin strap around.

Comments:

Once again, don't know how I ranked here. Pretty sure I was on of the fastest in my wave. My avg pace doesn't really reflect my effort.
Transition 2
  • 01m 46s
Comments:

Don't quite remember why this was so slow. I think transitions alone put me over the 2:10 mark. Very frustrating.
Run
  • 39m 54s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 06m 26s  min/mile
Comments:

Know idea again where I ranked. My new Zoot shoes were losing traction on the bridge which was frustrating. Felt like I was losing power.
What would you do differently?:

Wear out new shoes a little before race day.
Post race
Warm down:

Short run and stretch

Event comments:

Awards were canceled due to timing issues. Results now say I won my AG, but I have yet to receive any info about my awards. A couple 30-34 from the OPEN wave beat my time. Perhaps our times were combined. Don't really care as I will probably not do this race again. Think I say that every year though.
