Good overall swim, improved from a nearly 2:00min/100yd pace to 1:40 so very pleased.
What would you do differently?:

Tri to alternate breathing a little more to allow even better navigation.

Trouble clipping into shoes.

Practice and remove the clipping in step and just go with shoes pre-clipped.
Bike

What would you do differently?:

Get a Tri-bike. Like last year, started off probably a little too conservative not wanting to put too much strain on hip which never really did happen even when going much harder on the back half.

I'm at about 1/2 the overall run mileage as of this time last year, yet my splits are better this year, go figure.

Run, run, run.
Post race
Warm down:

Jumped into the lake.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Run and bike speeds.

Event comments:

Time for some R & R. Hometown race always good to finish on. Body was in borderline physcial shape for the race for a pes anserine bursitis right side and a greater trochater bursitis left side. Despite, had to do the race and glad I did.
