Life Time Tri Soma - Triathlon

Garmin got the course about 2160 meters longer than standard 2000. It seems that overall swim times were kind of slow, perhaps representing that distance.

I met the waves ahead at midway, and struggled to get through them, slowed me down a little bit, lost some momentum.

Everything was average with this swim, since the last time that I swam was the OIympic last month and the time before that was the Mountain Man 70.3 in Aug. I struggled a bit, but still got out at 10th in AG.

Pretty good, had trbouble putting on helmet thought, cost me about 10 seconds.

The time above reflects what my finish time would have been if I had continued to ride.

I was on pace at 24.7mph avg. up to the time that my rear tube and tire burst apart. I don't know if I hit an object or what.

It was just before mile 27. My race was over at that point, packed it up and walked back to turn in my timing chip. I didn't have any spares on me, and refused tech help later on.

On target for new PR, but would have been off my 2:15 goal.

Avg. power was at 289 watts
NP was at 304 watts

This race was awesome and the Lifetime improved the course immensely. THANK YOU!!!

I was on target to finish at 4 hr 28 to 29 min....way off my goal of 4:25... but I would have won 1st place in AG and be the defending Lifetime Point Series Champion.

This hurt and sucks.
