Comments:

Relatively easy swim. Some contact early on, but everyone spread out quickly. I still venture to the far right, making the overall distance a bit long.
Transition 1
  • 02m 18s
Comments:

chose a position close to entrance and on end of rack. smooth going for the most part, just a little slow coming out of wet suit.
Bike
  • 40m 36s
  • 11.5 miles
  • 17.00 mile/hr
Transition 2
  • 01m 55s
Comments:

Slow. With the rain at the start, I put my shoes, hat and garmn in a plastic bag. Getting them out slowed me down greatly as did trying to get the garmin on my wrist. Totally wasted about a minute
What would you do differently?:

I will keep the garmin on the bike and put it on while riding. I can easily do this and then not have to worry about it in transition. I can also powere it up on the bike and then it will be all set to go when I start running.

  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 49s  min/mile
Comments:

Easy run, even pace over entire course. No difficult hills to tackle or very steep downhills. Entire course is on pavement.

Event comments:

It is a good small race. Participants are very varied--some on mtn bikes, hybrids and older aluminum road bikes--and a few carbon tri bikes. Good course and fun event.
