Swim
Comments: Typical pool swim - passed 4 people and passed by no one. Good swim given how my swimming has gone. What would you do differently?: Not much - I have not swum nearly as much as last year to this point but my time was exactly the same as last year. Transition 1
Comments: Was having a great T1 but forgot my helmet; amazingly stupid. Cost me a good 15 seconds to put it on after the fact What would you do differently?: Faster than last year still Bike
Comments: New bike and was a good bit faster than last year by 47 seconds on the same course - very good ride What would you do differently?: Not much - have not been out much due to the cold.The guy who won my age group was behind out of the water and he took off. I caught him 10 miles in. He still had 30 seconds on me but it was great rabbit to chase Transition 2
Comments: Faster by 23 seconds over last year What would you do differently?: Nothing - was racing the guy who won my age group Run
Comments: Huge improvement in my running. I dropped over 2 minutes from last year. All of the running has paid off. First .5 miles was rough but had to just push through. Never did feel comfortable on the run. What would you do differently?: Nothing - ran with the AG winner for the first two plus miles then he left me coming up the big hill. I had nothing to be ashamed of. Post race
Warm down: Not much = once I finished and saw my results started looking for my wife and kids. What limited your ability to perform faster: I was 3 and half mins faster than last year and blew away my goals, Event comments: This race was much smaller than last year - not sure why. The split between JRC and Setup? More races in the area? Some of the guys I raced against int he past had raced already Halfs earlier. Last updated: 2014-04-27 12:00 AM

Local tri at my gym. Home race literally. And my wife's first ever tri. So Up a litle early with her. Got on site by 7; helped her with her transition area, get her chip and body marked. Then we split up from there.
Ran a half mile or so and did some activation. Goal was to work my legs a bit. hit the bathroom then swam 200 yards. Had about 20 mins to get my head in the game.
