Comments:

I concentrated on sighting for this swim, as my sighting has always been horrible. It helped, to a degree, but with the sun in our eyes for the first 200m, it was hard to see the buoys. I felt comfortable the entire swim and really had no contact with others, so it was nothing more than a normal day in the water.
What would you do differently?:

Swim faster - always.
Transition 2
  • 00m 40s
Comments:

Fast transition (7th OA)
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, I zoomed in and out of transition.

Run went fine. I kept a consistent pace and just plodded along.
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing really - gathered my gear and headed home to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing in particular.

Event comments:

These are good warm-ups for the bigger triathlons they are scheduled around.
