 Swim
Comments: Very crowded start. Many swimmers starting quickly but then fading quickly. Had to take a few strokes of breaststroke to navigate the traffic. Things spread out after the first bouy, and for awhile I was swimming alone. Didn't get much of a chance to draft. Overall pretty good swim. Felt good, but still held back a bit to avoid blowing up. What would you do differently?: Start more on the outside to stay out of the crowd.  Transition 1
Comments: Helmet and glasses on quickly. Good flying mount, but left shoe was dragging and it took a few seconds to get my foot on it and go. My feet and the shoes were wet, so it was more difficult than normal to get my feet in, but I was able to lock in and get going. What would you do differently?: Need to find a better way to keep the shoes in place during the mount.  Bike
Comments: Didn't burn myself out. Wanted to have some left for the run. Also, the road was wet and I did not want to go down, so I took the corners and turns very slowly. The road was somewhat rough, but it was welcomed because it was wet. A smoother road would have caused more water issues. What would you do differently?: I have not done many bike workouts in the past two weeks with vacation. Overall I was happy with the effort considering the circumstances. Transition 2
Comments: Got out of shoes well. Had to pay attention to speed bumps on the way in as well. My right shoe came off the bike as I dismounted, so I racked the bike and had to go back for it. Also stopped to take a sip of water. I was feeling beat, so I took my time. Got socks and shoes on quickly and ran with hat and race belt. Put them on after I was moving. What would you do differently?: Move faster. Don't lose shoe.  Run
Comments: Very muddy first half. Fell once but was fine. I felt better than the last two tri runs. Started out at 8:26 pace, but the muddy trail slowed me down for the second mile. Picked it back up to finish at 8:15 pace. Garmin showed the run as only 2.91 mi. Very pleasantly surprised to see that I started the run in 5th place but was able to pass two in my AG to take 3rd overall. What would you do differently?: Continue running. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, Ate food. Amount of drinks was limited. What limited your ability to perform faster: Long run on Sunday, wet roads, Event comments: Well organized race. Lots of volunteers and the atmosphere was fun. A passing storm was handled really well at the start, and overall it was a great race. Last updated: 2015-08-11 12:00 AM

Arrived, registered and got set up. Dark clouds started rolling in and there was an announcement that rain and thunderstorms were on the way. Packed everything back up and took cover until the storm passed.
The race started 15 minutes late, but the storm cooled things down a bit.
Swam about 100 yards.
