Swim
  • 06m 40s
  • 400 meters
  • 01m 40s / 100 meters
Comments:

Started on the far left out of the mass of women, this resulted in no contact and a very clean swim. I was able to push with a group of three women and draft off one of them. The swim was fast and over in no time.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

I was a full minute slower than last time I raced the sprint. Maybe it was my speed coming up out of transition. I ran through a lot of Olympic racers who were walking. It wasn't a big deal.
What would you do differently?:

Rack my bike closer to "bike out".

Comments:

The pace felt hard with the altitide. The sprint course has a ton of climbing which keeps things honest.
What would you do differently?:

More climbing, more altitude.
Transition 2
  • 00m 35s
Comments:

Got in and out, kept it quick.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, fastest transition to date. I noticed only one girl from my age group ahead of me and wasn't sure of my placing.
Run

  • 2.25 miles
  • 11m 23s  min/mile
Comments:

Steep hills and fast girls made the race more interesting.
What would you do differently?:

More running
Post race
Warm down:

Stood in the lake and drank some water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Run training.

Event comments:

I love this race, 4th year back. It's a small grassroots triathlon with a punch. Sprint and Olympic courses are both very challenging.
