Comments:

Swim was a struggle which wasnt much of a surprise. I wore my tri top jersey and it felt like a weight and drag.
What would you do differently?:

Not wear the tri top jersey on the swim.
Transition 1
  • 02m 9s
Comments:

First transition of the year and it went well. Rubber-banded the shoes to the bike to keep them level and it seemed to work really well.
What would you do differently?:

Run a little faster from the swim to the rack.

Comments:

Didnt realize it right away but I lost my water bottle sometime after mounting the bike. No liquids on the bike which concerned me a little but didnt seem to be much of an issue aferall.

  • 01m 54s
Run
  • 23m 18s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 29s  min/mile
Comments:

Since it was my first race this year, didnt want to push the run too hard and the beginning. Found a comfortable pace and then just continued to gradually add speed to the run.
What would you do differently?:

Pick up the pace a little bit quicker and try to sustain it longer (especially the last .5 miles).
Post race
Warm down:

Hung out waiting for Cindy and friends to finish, just socialized mostly.

Event comments:

Very nice event, may have to put it back on the calendar for next year.
