Comments:

Felt like a great swim until I saw my time later. Started off drafting a couple of guys. Then after the first turn, the guys I was drafting took a wide angle towards the next buoy. I passed by them and went right at it instead and then never saw them again.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure - thought I was going to have better results than what I ended up with. Could probably have pushed a little harder the second loop.

Good ride. Passed a lot of people on the uphill stretch of each loop.
What would you do differently?:

Could have pushed a little harder. I kept thinking about saving a little for the run.

Run
  • 39m 12s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 06m 24s  min/mile
Comments:

Tried to pace myself better by starting a little slower. Did not negative split, but kept the second loop's pace closer to the first than usual. There were a few spots that I had to wait to make a pass due to the narrow paths.
What would you do differently?:

Need to push harder the last 2 miles. Giving in to tired legs too easily.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Same as always - slow swim.

Event comments:

I like this little race a lot (and it is growing - 111 Olympic racers this year versus about 70 last year). The post race food was great - twinkies and freshly made pancakes were included.
