Comments:

Very rough and choppy waves compared to prior year. Current was a bit stronger as well. I do have to apologize to the guy wearing the Marine trisuit I was drafting off of I know I hit his feet a few times.
What would you do differently?:

Pray for calmer waters
Transition 1
  • 01m 41s
Comments:

Long run from transition to mounting area.
What would you do differently?:

Learn how to run with shoes clipped on bike already.

Comments:

Overall a good flat fast course. Road was rough out on Dragstrip alley. Alot better bike than last year took awhile longer for all the real triathletes to start passing me. One of the downfalls of being a good swimmer is that you have to see the contenders pass you very quickly.
What would you do differently?:

Get out riding more so it takes the contenders even longer to pass me.
Transition 2
  • 01m 35s
Comments:

Finally bought the lock laces so didn't have to worry about tying my shoes.
Run
  • 28m 36s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 09m 12s  min/mile
Comments:

Need to run more. Pretty simple, didn't run enough and it showed.
What would you do differently?:

Train more, and get a quicker turnover.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and talked with friends and family

Event comments:

Setupevents did a pretty good job with this race and had plenty of refreshments afterwards. Although the transition area was a bit far away from the bike mount/dismount line.
