Second last out of the water, but I expected that. Water was good and the temperature of the water was very nice.
What would you do differently?:

Train more before hand
Transition 1
  • 02m 22s
Comments:

Smooth transition, Suit came off well, took time to clean the feet to get the minimalist shoes on as I was going without socks.
What would you do differently?:

Try to get the feet clean quicker

Fairly nice course. Technical with some hills that could catch you out if you weren't expecting them. Dropped my chain on some rough stuff in one area so could have been a bit quicker.
What would you do differently?:

More technical riding in preparation.
Transition 2
  • 00m 43s
Comments:

Fairly clean transition as I was already wearing my running shoes. Could have been a bit quicker except I stopped to drink some fluids.

Comments:

Good even paced run. Legs felt good coming off the bike and had a very even pace.

Time was exceptional for me - almost too good as I've never held that pace before. Checking the other times, all the run times are very fast making me wonder if the course was a little short
What would you do differently?:

Train more before had to increase my speed.
Post race
Warm down:

Get a huge from my daughter and walk around a bit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training.

Event comments:

Enjoyed the race very much. Small size was very nice as was able to see my daughter the cheerleader at every transition.

I will definitely do either this race again or the longer course (double lengths) next year if they hold it.
