swam relatively easy, thought I had a better swim that where I placed overall, no wetsuit, most of field had wetsuits

tried to keep it comfortable, high cadence, not the hardest gear, aerobars 70% of the time, very easy on the turns

not too much, bike tune-up, slightly harder

Comments:

decent transition
Run
  • 46m 33s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 07m 30s  min/mile
Comments:

starting off, fast pace felt fairly comfortable, started to get hard at mile 3 so backed off some, started to hurt miles 4 and 5, felt better mile 6 which was downhill, had a good kick left at the end
What would you do differently?:

not much, maybe go harder miles 4 and 5, had quite a bit of kick left at the end, though wouldn't have made much difference in overall placement, next person in front in my age was ahead by 4 mins, unusual for me to place highest in the run of the 3 segments
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, drank fluids

What limited your ability to perform faster:

easy on swim, slow turns on bike

Event comments:

fun race, low key, small fast field
