Been swim training more but my pace was slower than last season. Disappointing! Kept straight and swam freestyle most of the way.

Consider Aerobars.

Comments:

It was getting warm and muggy by the time I got to the run. Felt like I was carrying a fifty pound backpack at the start. There was a water stop 50 yards into the run. I rarely take water on the run course but this time I did. Seeing my run time when I finished I felt like it wasn't too bad considering how I felt at the beginning. Then I remembered that it was 3 miles not 5K. Too slow!
What would you do differently?:

Need a couple of brick workouts for this season.
Post race
Warm down:

Not much. Someone had a bike stolen out of transition. Not happy to hear that since I just retired my $300 25 year old Schwinn and bought a new Trek Madone.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training.

Event comments:

DQ Events put on good low key races. I do many of them throughout the summer.
