Swim
Comments: Great swim. Open water has been great this year. I feel more and more confident in each race. What would you do differently?: Not much that I would do differently. I do need to get a little more calm when feet are right in front of my face. My breathing and pulse jump when that happens. Transition 1
Comments: This SUCKED!!! The swim time was longer along with the T1 time because of the race layout. There was a quarter mile run across a bridge/dock and up a huge hill after exiting the water. What would you do differently?: Relax more and not let the hill get into my head. I knew it was coming but it still killed me. Again, I need more practice in T1. Bike
Comments: Killed the bike segment. Great course. I still have more that I can push, but it was definitely one of my best ever bike splits. I really hit the gas hard based on what I learned from the race a month ago. What would you do differently?: Still continue to push the limits and learn to go harder. There is more gas in the tank than a I ever thought. Transition 2
Comments: Much better T2. This is getting much better and I'm feeling more comfortable. What would you do differently?: Not much. I need to practice this, but I need to focus on T1 more than T2. Run
Comments: Great run for me! Again pushed myself harder than I ever have and it paid off. One of the best 5k times for me ever. Not just in triathlon. What would you do differently?: Keep working on my speed. For the first time in my races, my run didn't cause be to be dropped way back in the pack. Post race
Warm down: Walked around and stretched. Grabbed some food. I finished so early the pizza wasn't there yet. Tried to stay in the shade as much as possible. What limited your ability to perform faster: Keep training and pushing each time. I keep getting faster and faster with each race. I feel like I completely fulfilled what I was capable of right now. I know I will be faster though. Event comments: Great course and very fun race. Something does need to be done about T1. That's a killer! Way too early to have to go through something like that!. I highly recommend this race to someone that is interested in triathlon. Last updated: 2016-02-08 12:00 AM

Woke up early and had the typical morning routine. Drove to the race site with no issues. Since there was bike check and number tattoos, it was a very slick morning. Had lots of time to relax in transition.
Walked the LONG walk to the start line and swam a very small amount in the water to get adjusted to the temperature. Felt pretty good.
