Comments:

I tried to swim fast but really wasn't swimming fast...ugh. Some lady who wasn't sighting well kept cutting across me. I told her she was going off course and instead of lifting her head to check she just turned and went over me again. The second time I let her go off course. I had to stop because i didn't want tote kicked. I swam hard because it was a short swim. No matter I was still slow. The run to transition was long and uphill. My grandson ran along side of me but then I had to wait with him because he couldn't see his mom and started crying. So yeah my swim was slow.
My sighting was great!
What would you do differently?:

train. I hadn't swam since my last race.

Comments:

I just pushed has hard as I could. Up out of the seat on a couple of hills. Couldn't pedal hard downhill because of traffic and turns. Some people did not understand what, :Left: meant and did not move to the right.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Run
  • 25m 17s
  • 2 miles
  • 12m 38s  min/mile
Comments:

Had to stip and tie my shoes twice. walked once for a short time. Really enjoyed the trail run. Realized at one point I was jogging when I had more to give and could run. The time on the run includes the T2 time. Unless the swim time includes that and T1 is really not between swim and bike but between bike and run.
What would you do differently?:

stay mindful.
Post race
Warm down:

What limited your ability to perform faster:

same ol thing...training.
