Swim went well. Didn't push too hard, but kept ot steady. navigation was good. A little surprised that it was over 16min, as I was hoping for 15:30, but I was still 45 sec faster than last time on this course

Good ride, even though I had forgotten my computer. Tried to keep effort very smooth, nad not have the big spikes/dips. Not having the computer made me focus on how I felt more than usual. Ended up being 1 min faster exactly than last time, so something went well.

Tough run. Quads startin gcramping on the second of 5 hills going out. First 2 miles were 7:37, 7:28. Felt pretty good til the turn around, but the first climb got me nad I had to walk the uphills from there on out. Never walked for more than 20 yds, but definitely slowed. 3rd mile was 8:12. Managed to run the last 1/2 mile, but was beat by the end. Had no speed to sprint in, but endurance felt ok.
What would you do differently?:

train more
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, changed and packed up, waited around for awards

Event comments:

Very well done race again this year. Much smaller in years past becasue the Nashville Music City changed to this same weekend, so a lot of people opted for Nashville instead of this race. Still a great course, nice lake, good roads to ride. A tough run course though with the constant hills. Will keep doing this race, thoguh.
