Water was murky at beginning

Getting better
What would you do differently?:

Try to find a better way to get legs out of wetsuit - seem to get stuck which result in calf cramp...

Comments:

This course was nowhere easy as Tommy Ferris states in the 2013 video on MSC Channel
It was challenging but fun to do
Got passed by 2 guys in duathlon and one Triathlon guy in AG - let him go ~2K before T2 due to headwind causing his bike to go all over the place
Came out 3rd off the bike in AG
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Got to work on run...

  • 01m 28s
Run

Comments:

Did better this time
Felt good the entire run - not as hot as two previous events
Got passed late during the run by 3-4 guys - has no juice left but still average just under 5:00/K
What would you do differently?:

Keep on working on speed work and running hard after bike
Post race
Warm down:

went for a quick dip - water still murky at beach access

What limited your ability to perform faster:

slow race pace - improving though

Event comments:

Great job for the first MSC venue
Will do it again as close by
