Again, not my best place to swim. I swim better in oly's at a faster pace.

Comments:

Had clip-in issues at the end of the pad.

Comments:

Felt really good on the bike, if it was not for that 15-20 sec after T1 it would have been much better. Dismount went well, killed it on the fly.
Transition 2
  • 01m 3s
Comments:

T2 was a mess, the rack was collapsing! Someone must have really jacked their bike in or out, the damn thing was falling over. It cost me 10-15 sec because I had to tilt my bike to get it in.
Run
  • 25m 48s
  • 3.5 miles
  • 07m 22s  min/mile
Comments:

Just did not have the top end to get it done. I think I cut back too much mile 2-3, felt better after the hill and really strided it out the finish.
What would you do differently?:

Not much speed work this year with the IM coming, but there were other IM guys doing just fine.

Event comments:

I liked the way they did prizes/awards this year. Years past it was based on AG size, now its just top 4 in AG and also to those with the fastest swim, bike or run. Another good year for the race.
