I'm guessing on the ranks.. I know I was faster than the rest of the clydesdales but there were lots of folks who didn't get split so I'm not totally sure. I haven't been in the pool since late february so I'm pretty pleased with my swim. I did start to peter out towards the end though.
What would you do differently?:

Train... :)
Transition 1
  • 01m
Comments:

No big deal here.. again.. Time is an estimate. Last year I tried to put a shirt on in T1. Time then was 3:14. Longer than my swim time :) I went shirtless today and dropped at least 2 min of T1. which is where my time decrease for this race was.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing..

AG Rank is correct on this one..
I think I did ok considering my lack of training in the past months. The run was so short though I just got to feeling comfortable about 1/4 mile to the finish..
What would you do differently?:

push a little harder.
loose some freaking weight.
