 Swim
Comments: Second year - the swim was advertised as 500m - but my Garmin has .47 miles which was 750meters. It was certainly more 500m  Transition 1
Comments: Small TA with a great TA spot lead to good time  Bike
Comments: Decent ride - was faster last year - played hop scotch with a couple of guys - passed by one relay and two people not in my age group. My cadence monitor is screwed up so I rode by feel - probably could have gone a little harder. On Shearers did get stuck in some traffic but nothing like LKN tri. Transition 2
Comments: Decent T2 - the issue was the racks are super high  Run
Comments: I went out hard - on purpose and then hung on What would you do differently?: My running has a point of contention - running hard according to my HR but slowing down Post race
Warm down: Grabbed water and talked with some folks - ate a bagel and a banana. They ran out of drinks at the end. What limited your ability to perform faster: Really, really tired - but during the race did not feel. Really surprised I won my age group. Going into the race and pre-race I hoped to place. During the race I assumed I was somewhere like 2nd or 3rd as I saw no one in my AG on the bike. SO the fact that I won was a surprise even though I was slower than last year. Event comments: For what it is - part of a three company wellness challenge plus where it is on the calendar (most folks focused on season ending longer races) its a good race - it was better than last year as far as organization. Its small but a good race for beginners. I like the race a bunch More porta potties this year (like double) plus more volunteers with chips and marking made it a much better experience. The Course is really nice (great swim in a cove, the run is relatively flat, and the bike is on well known roads and routes) - So major thanks to race folks for making this race better. It was a great deal better than last year. My only beef was the award - last year was a beer glass this year a hat? a hat come on man. Last updated: 2013-08-05 12:00 AM

Local race close to home and year end race for me; up at6 :15 - very tired and did not want to get out to bed. Typical pre-race breakfast of oatmeal and Diet Mt Dew. Out the door and parked by 7am. My back tire was rubbing so spent a few minutes getting the tired straight - thinking the tire needs truing.
Setup transition, body marked and chip very quickly - had a great transition spot.
Ran a little bit, jumped in the water for the a quick swim. Then hit the port a potties again _ lets say my lower GI emptied out
