 Swim
Comments: Truly a rough swim - the chop was right into our faces; took a wave right on my head as I breathing about 200 m out - had to take a few breast strokes to rlax. Got caught behind some real slow swimmers at the start. Had a hard time navigating the second turn buoy and caught up to someone right at the buoy. My swim time was faster than last year but it does not reflect the difference this year than last What would you do differently?: Get in front; I am stronger swimmer than others.  Transition 1
Comments: First time ever with a wetuit; came off ok. The Bike start is uphill so took my time coming up to speed. The time was much slower than last yeat but I was pretty whipped after the swim. The swim was much harder than last year  Bike
Comments: Bike which is my true strength in triathlon is not as strong as last year; focused on swimming and running plus the cold spring means less actual seat time. I was overall faster this year then last with a worse bike and worse conditions. Passed a ton of folks and passed by one - weird race in that about 7 miles in I was by myself for a good 2 plus miles - became more like a TT than a tri - and think that made my time a little slower. What would you do differently?: Need some more miles but bike felt good. Again it would have more people to race. Transition 2
Comments: It was ok - not great but ok.  Run
Comments: Felt very good on the run - strong and had good legs to kick at the end. I actually passed more than passed me for a change. This run course is intimidating to me and the fact that I was minute faster than last year was really encouraging to me What would you do differently?: Nothing Post race
Warm down: It was hot - water tasted great. Got a massage from out tri-club tent - loosen my hip up which was really tight. What limited your ability to perform faster: My cold and the drugs I was on - but I performed ok. The conditions were the issue. Event comments: This race was much faster this year - much tougher competition on top of the race this year versus last. Well organized and run - the course is good if not a little challenging. Would have finished 3rd in the MC category this year where the same time last year was second; good example of how much faster it was. But my AG was slower overall. Good race which I enjoy Last updated: 2013-05-12 12:00 AM

Picked up a nasty little cold on Wednesday; and felt pretty rough Friday. Took some Nyquil and hit the rack; woke up at 4:30 and never really got back to sleep. Up at 6 and out the door on time at 6:40 - the park is like less than 10 mins at my house. Was feeling amazing ok given how stopped up I was on Friday. Truly a miracle
Its a big race for my local tri - club; had a team picture and stretch. Was suppose to meet a buddy but he never showed (he was running very late); got a little bit of a run in in and fely very good. Got the wet suit on and hit the lake - did I mention the chop running right into our faces on the swim out with the north wind?
