Event warmup:

2 short swims. Water was 85 degrees, so no wetsuit, but I did swim in my tri-top
Swim
  • 17m 4s
  • 750 meters
  • 02m 17s / 100 meters
Transition 1
  • 02m 9s
Comments:

This was a pretty good transition. I took time to clean the grass off my feet before getting into my shoes. That combined with a 1/4 mile run from the lake to the TA = 2min transition.

Comments:

I felt a little detrained on this ride, but I haven't really dont much bike training/riding since IMTX on May 19th.
Transition 2
  • 00m 56s
Comments:

Good transition, but could have been faster.
Run
  • 19m 41s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 06m 20s  min/mile
Comments:

I was pushing hard on this one to make up for the slow swim. I had a solid run, made up a lot of ground, and out sprinted some one in my age group in the closing 200 yards to the finish line!!!
What would you do differently?:

Too much "rest and recovery" and non-training activities since IMTX. This race was the "get back into training" wake up call.
Post race
Warm down:

Not much of a warm down, just walking around wiht my girlfriend, post race food, cheering on the rest of the field.

Post race ART felt really good too!

Event comments:

This was my second sprint race ever, it was a lot of fun, well organized, and I will probably do this one again next year if it fits in my race schedule.
