Comments:

Hadn't swam in months, so outcome was ok. Estimated it would take 9:30. Probably went too hard - last couple laps weren't much fun.
What would you do differently?:

Slow down a bit.
Transition 1
  • 01m 40s
Comments:

Good transition - I tried to do it quickly, unlike 2 years ago, and my time indicated the changed attitude. Given I have laced biking shoes, I'll never be quick at this transition.

Comments:

Good bike. Went pretty hard, but was rewarded w/ good time.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe take it a little easier to have better legs for the run.
Transition 2
  • 01m 8s
Comments:

Good transition. Probably as quick as I could do it, given laced biking and laced running shoes.
Run
  • 26m 15s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 08m 28s  min/mile
Comments:

It was a slog...came very close to walking 3 or 4 blocks in due to dead legs from bike. But persevered and got my lungs back thanks to a downhill segment. Consciously slowed down so I'd be able to make it up the hills on way to finish line. Average pace wasn't as bad as it felt.
What would you do differently?:

Take it easier on bike to make run less arduous.

Event comments:

Improved (slightly) on my time from 2 years ago, so I'm pleased!
