Santa Rosa Island Triathlon - Triathlon

Goggles filled up twice on the way to the first buoy and I had to stop and adjust them. Had been fine when I was warming up. Caused me to fall back in the pack a bit and came out 10-15 seconds behind top swimmers in my wave.

Not have leaky goggles

Long run to transition. A little trouble getting wetsuit off but not bad.

Getting on the bike I thought one of the top guys in my AG was ahead of me so I pushed a pretty good pace/power. He came out of the water ahead of me and I am typically a little stronger on the bike than he is. Never saw him...even at the turnaround so no idea if he was ahead or behind me. Definitely kept me pushing the pace. Crosswinds were tricky and didn't help with speed.

Solid ride. Crosswinds wer tough. Power in the 250 range most of the ride/

Pretty solid T2

Wanted to break 20 min and felt pretty good throughout. Still did not know where the other guy in my AG was. Finally saw him heading out toward the loop on the course as I was heading back so I knew I had several minutes on him. Must have passed him in T1. Miles were pretty consistent in 6:30-36 range and pushed the last few hundred yards.

Nothing....solid run.

Went for a 20 min run with a team mate to shake out the legs. Changed, cleaned up transition and hung around for the always fun post race party and awards. Won another "TIKI" for grandmasters win as team mate bumped up to win masters.

After the last few races being sub par and mentally not being strong I felt good throughout and was glad to finish the season on a high note!


Nothing....other than the swim issues I raced well.


One of my favorites. Always a competitive field and a great post race party awards ceremony. Top notch all around!
