  • 01m 56s / 100 yards
Comments:

Time was slow but I did feel good about my sighting and navigation. Felt comfortable and strong in the water. Again, time was slow but I think that has more to do with not spending as much time in the pool as usual.
What would you do differently?:

Need to get in the pool more often. Maybe look at doing more interval training to work on speed.
Transition 1
  • 01m 43s
Comments:

Forgot my tri top so I had to mess with getting a bike shirt on. Cost me some time.
What would you do differently?:

Not forget the tri top.

Comments:

Felt really good on the bike and am happy with my performance. Not sure if the course was a little longer this year. Felt like I did really well here but only shaved a little bit off a previous year's time. I noticed some of the other faster athletes had slower times on the bike this year. It was a little wet but nothing that would have slowed people down that much. Again, not sure if they changed the course.
What would you do differently?:

Continue training.
Transition 2
  • 01m 1s
Comments:

Happy with T2.
Run
  • 21m 38s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 06m 53s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt good on the run. It was overcast and cool so did not have to deal with overheating.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing much. Keep training.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, ate pizza and bananas.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim. Sighting was good but pace was too slow. Need to prime the engine a little more to find that extra gear.

Event comments:

This is always a fun race. Will do it again and would recommend it.
