Went out hard for the first half, this actually worked for me. Using a full suit is such a good idea for me, I had a great swim.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Transition 1
  • 01m 16s
Comments:

Never done a T1 with a wetsuit in a short race. It was easy. Also, I decided to race w/o socks and that made things very quick as well.

Raced this pretty hard, but wanted to save a bit in the tank for the run. I think it was a great bike today.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Transition 2
  • 01m 3s
Comments:

I was a bit slow b/c someone racked way too had right as I was about to leave and knocked my bike off the rack. Had a quick sip of water. Quick T2.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, just an accident that the guy was a bit excited.
Run

  • 06m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

Ran hard. Every mile under 6:40. I was really gunning for a 20:00 split, but didn't have it today. Still I finished very strong.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing at all, it was a solid run performance.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing. I executed a great race. I stayed at the very edge of my limits for each discipline w/o blowing up.

Event comments:

Fun race. It's the perfect distance and draws out some pretty fast guys. I'll definitely keep doing it.

So, 1 spot off the podium. Not too bad considering I had a 4 min improvement over last year. I am very satisfied with my performance today. This is the first triathlon I legitimately felt like I was racing and in the hunt. It's a cool feeling, I can see the addictive nature of it.
