Swim
Comments: Fairly good swim. Lined up close to the front and got passed by one person, but she was a "real" swimmer and should have been up higher in the line anyways. Not much to say, short and sweet What would you do differently?: Nothing comes to mind. Transition 1
Comments: Not a good T1 for me, 12" slower than last year, mainly because I just couldn't seem to get my helmet clipped on. What would you do differently?: I'm too lax on my transition practices. Gotta step up my game. Bike
Comments: Tough bike. Got stuck behind a pickup truck on the way back to T2 and that probably ate into my time a bit. Not a lot you can do about that though except take it in stride. What would you do differently?: Getting my bike fitness back, but still not there yet. I still felt those hills more than I'd prefer to. Transition 2
Comments: Dropped the visor on my Kask helmet and had to pick it up. Annoying and cost me a second or two. What would you do differently?: Just not be such a Noob. Run
Comments: Just felt like poo today on the run... maybe partially because of the long ride yesterday followed by a hard effort on the bike today. Today was supposed to be a "hard training day" though, so I don't suppose I should have felt 100% the whole time. What would you do differently?: Still need to work on my run. 19th run split is embarrassing. Post race
Warm down: Hung out with Jenny, the fam and some friends. Waited for awards and then headed to get some lunch! What limited your ability to perform faster: Being a slouch in transitions, out of shape on the bike and a bad runner overall. Event comments: As always, Race Day Events puts on a well supported, well planned race. No complaints Last updated: 2014-05-26 12:00 AM

Normal routine, breakfast and a last check over the bike. Jenny showed up and we took the short trip to the venue.
Biked a bit, ran a bit, swam a lap.
Did a 3 hour ride yesterday so the legs needed a little extra time to get working.
