Comments:

Swam steady. Stroked the whole way. Intentionally breathing more during the frantic first 100.
Transition 1
  • 01m 10s
Comments:

Trouble getting wetsuit off heels. Still was a 'fast' T1, probably top 20. The transition area is long, so be sure you know where is your spot. A guy beside me put tied a balloon to the rack, which helped me.
What would you do differently?:

Need more lube for removing wetsuit, and more practice.

Below average performance on the bike due to less bike training this spring and not wearing my heart rate monitor.

Fumbled getting shoes on, but still a fast T2. Fastest in age group, probably top 20 overall.

Event comments:

Tri The Parks / TriBlueSky always does a good job. Post race snacks are basic, so if you're staying for the awards, bring a big sandwich.
