Good swim. My time was a little slower than the previous year but the course also looked a little different so it may have been a little longer this year.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe push a little harder near the end but not much other than that. I just need to learb to be a better swimmer

Good transition. Really happy with my time especially since the zone was really long.
What would you do differently?:

I need to learn the rubber band on bike show trick so I can do a flying mount

Comments:

Rain slowed me down as well as a weird cramp I started getting in the middle of the right calf. I don't know why that happened as I had taken acre of myself before the race and felt great. I may have overcooked my legs on the hills on the way out.
What would you do differently?:

Spin better on the hills at the start to save the power for the rest of the ride
Transition 2
  • 00m 38s
Comments:

Good transition. A little trouble getting my running shoes on but didn't lose more than a couple of seconds
What would you do differently?:

work on getting into shoes
Run

  • 3.1 miles
  • 06m 53s  min/mile
Comments:

Good run but I should have pushed a little earlier. I was worried about the cramp coming back from the bike leg but once I started running it was fine.
What would you do differently?:

Push a little earlier. Last mile should be a near sprint for me.
Post race
Warm down:

walk, talk to friends, bananas, gatorade, pizza

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weather and the strange cramp in my leg.

Event comments:

PTC Tri Club does a great job with this race every year. It was not as well attended this year compared to last but still a great race. Weather didn't help today but they always have tons of volunteers in all the important areas. The fact that you get a pair of socks as well as the T-shirt is a nice bonus too.
