Really struggled after no swimming the past 2-1/2 weeks due to bronchitis. The water was so cold, it was hard to catch my breath.
What would you do differently?:

SWIM MORE!

Had a really hard time getting my freakin' wetsuit off my arms! But then it came off pretty quickly.
What would you do differently?:

Practice getting the wetsuit off lol

Comments:

Not bad for still hacking up crud from the bronchitis. I'll take it.
What would you do differently?:

Try to drink a little more. I was really parched by the time I started running.

  • 01m 25s
Comments:

There was NO room on the rack by the time I got back, so I leaned my bike up on the end of the rack.

Comments:

Pretty pitiful time, but considering I have been so sick, I'll live with it. The grass and mud slowed me down as well.
What would you do differently?:

Definitely need to amp up the running now that I seem to be over this crud.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked through the booths, got our bikes out of transition and loaded them up.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Being sick for 2-1/2 weeks prior and not being able to train.

Event comments:

I would consider this one again, if it weren't for the trail running. Still might anyway. Seems like my age bracket was very tough - I thought I would have placed higher than I did with that time. Still enjoyed it and am glad to get #2 of the season out of the way.
