Comments:

swim was putrid. 32 high at water's edge. should have been closer to 29 or so. yesterday i thought the course was long and some others said that. however today my shoulders are not even sore (nor upper arms). that tells me i didn't go hard enough. i thought i was very efficient in my stroke and thought i was pulling water well. apparently not
What would you do differently?:

swim harder

good ride. auto fill says 26 but the shirt says 24 so we will go with the shirt. that pace makes much more sense for how i felt. overall a good ride for me
What would you do differently?:

nothing.

nothing

Comments:

decent run. fell off the last quarter of the run. was hoping for 45
What would you do differently?:

keep training with speed work. not sure what would have made a difference yesterday otherwise
Post race
Warm down:

waited for Wilson to finish. stretched a little and ate some food. had a beer :)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

dismal effort on swim and bike fitness. the bike fitness is coming along better, but still needs a lot of work

Event comments:

enjoyed this race. it is in my hometown, so that is nice. nice food and stuff afterwards. FS Series does a good job putting these races on
