Gateway Triathlon - Olympic Course - TriathlonOlympic

Worst swim ever. I don't know what happened. I didn't feel too bad, but I was swimming slower than ever. I got passed by a woman doing the back stroke on the way out. I wish I could find a local swim coach.

New timing chip this year. It stuck out at least an inch. Plus wetsuit rolled up on my calves and would pull off.

Felt good on the bike. I started so far back, I was passing people from the beginning. I got stuck behind a woman in the first mile who wouldn't complete a pass. I called out several times, but couldn't pass her without crossing the center line.
I felt good on the ride and was really disappointed in my time. My previous outdoor ride indicated a 19+mph ride.

average transition for me. I think a slowed down a little because I was bummed about the earlier performances.

Started off awfully slow. And walked too much at the beginning. I lost my focus mentally.

This was my 5th year here. I loved this year's run course as it had a lot of shade (previous years are across the dam in the sun, flat and straight).
