Swim
Comments: Great swim for my overall lack of swim fitness. Rocked the start with a quick lead through the first few bouys then I we slowly passed by the eventual race winner. I hoppe on his heels for a while then he began to gap me. At about the same time the overall #2 guy pulled even with me but he veered off a few times and I beat him back to the beach. What would you do differently?: Practice swimming Transition 1
Comments: Transition started when we entered the transition area instead of out of the water. From the beach We ran up a path 100 yard or so to t1 was passed on the run because I was so gassed from the swim What would you do differently?: Run faster to transition Bike
Comments: Rode pretty well was 2nd out of transition but was quickly passed due to messing with my shoes. Got aero and made a few passes on people in the Olympic. Made the pass back into second and stayed there. Played leapfrog with a guy in the longer race and he prob helped push me along a bit. What would you do differently?: Just need to keep training an spending time in the saddle Transition 2
Comments: New shoes are zoot owvas and it was my first sock less race so seemed faster What would you do differently?: Practice transitions Run
Comments: Blah What would you do differently?: Run a ton faster... But I didn't have any extra gears today Post race
Warm down: Spent some with the family and actually won a plaque for winning My age group. Was bittersweet I a tally was second in my age group the guy that got second overall wasn't counted In the age group awards Event comments: Will be back Last updated: 2011-06-26 12:00 AM

Up at 4:30 and at the lake at 6. Got transition set up and just wandered around a bit. It was weird to have a 8 o'clock start time with the Olympic going off at 7. But 30 min b4 the race I got suited up and pulled on the speedsuit for my first open water race of the year
Ran about a mile then climbed in the water for a few min of easy strokes
