Comments:

Thanks to the fog that settled over the lake I couldn't see where i was going for the back straight away and the return leg. I took the wrong line for both and had to be guided back. Other than that, I had a great swim.
What would you do differently?:

Sight Better!!
Transition 1
  • 01m 46s
Comments:

Took too much time here since I put a hat and Running jacket on to stay warm on the bike. I'm glad I did but it cost me at least a minute overall and likely 2nd place in the age group.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing based on the conditions.

Comments:

Felt really good on the bike. I held off enough without slowing down too much. Jacket was really appreciated on the downhills.
What would you do differently?:

nothing.
Transition 2
  • 01m 18s
Comments:

Took extra time here removing hat and jacket for the run. Had to be done but it cost a little more time.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Run
  • 40m 30s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 06m 32s  min/mile
Comments:

I felt really good on the run. I'm glad I scouted it beforehand because a lot of people thought they were finishing the first time they saw the finish and kicked too early.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Good pace, on the border of what I was able to do. If it was a full 10k that was my PR
Post race
Warm down:

walk, eat, drink, walk, stretch, drink, walk, stretch, get award.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Sighting in lake and jacket/hat for bike. I don't ride outside when the weather is below 60 normally so that was a makeshift solution. Worked out though.

Event comments:

This race was snake bit this year and suffered from a lot of factors that the race director just cold not control. My hat is off to her and the team of volunteers for pulling off a great race in a bad situation. I will absolutely come back to this race in the future.
