I felt strong on the swim, especially for my first none-wetsuit competion.

Lost my watch/heart rate monitor about 30 seconds into the race. I spent some time trying to catch it after if got ripped off.
I need to continue to work on my sighting.
I also need to work on my stroke, I continue to pull to the left when I swim.

Standard transition, I walked from the beach to the transition area.

Bike route was fairly flat with a light headwind on the way out and a light tailwind on the way back. There are some rollers at the beginning and end.

I need to get out on the road more. I also adjusted my seat position this week and I could feel it in my hamstrings.

I got off the bike feeling ok, but less than a mile in my lungs were aching. It felt like some of my asthma attacks. I don't know if it was asthma or an allergen. I used a run/walk method, which really frustrated me. I had been feeling so good running lately.
(My lungs were still aching the next day.)

Just walked out the leg cramps before packing up my transition gear.


Lack of road time on the bike, breathing issues on the run.


This was a first year event. Racemaker Productions did a good job of organizing the race. The sprint and oly swims were staggered to provide plenty of safety/water patrol. The bike and run courses were well marked. There were 2 water stations operating on the run course. A variety of pizzas were available post race. The race shirts are nice. I will definitely do another of their races and I hope to be back for this one next year.
