Comments:

90 second swim time was a huge field and a lot of people were not up to the time. I passed 2 and caught the third at the finish wall.
What would you do differently?:

Still need to improve my swim speed. And lie about it on the entry form I guess.
Transition 1

Poor transitions today. Early in the season and didn't practice. I put shoes on in transition which is a little slow. Need to work on leaving shoes on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

run without shoes

OK Bike. Winds made it tough. Could have pushed a little harder.
Transition 2
  • 01m 33s
Comments:

Bent down to put on running shoes and stomach cramped! Had to stand up and stretch for 20-30 seconds. Made for a very poor t2. 18th in age group.
What would you do differently?:

Not cramp!

Good run overall. Could have gone out a little faster but with the wind didn't want to push to hard early.
What would you do differently?:

Run harder early
Post race
Warm down:

Run around and cheer for my wife and son.

Event comments:

Great BBQ for post race party, but only water to drink.
