Swim
  • 04m 1s
  • 200 yards
  • 02m 01s / 100 yards
Comments:

Swim distance was shortened to 200yds. so there was only 1 direction per lane. This seemed to work better for the traffic jams. Ended up passing 3 people in the pool.

Swimming after the run/bike is a lot different than when its at the first. I was riding low in the water, didn't realize until I got out that I still had my shirt on and racebelt/number!
What would you do differently?:

More T2 practice, practice swimming swimming more with heartrate near max for 30 minutes.

Run To Bike transition
Managed to pass the studly dude during transistion that I couldnt quite catch on the run. I'm quite proud of that because I practiced quite a bit with the cleats. He was about 5-10sec/mi faster than me and I couldn't keep up with him without going into the red. Of course he passed me on the bike in the first half-mile, I was going 25 and he must have been doing 30+ on his fully decked out carbon tri-bike.

Bike to Swim transistion.
This was a semi-disaster. Time is good but forgot to drop the glasses and take off the shirt and number belt.
What would you do differently?:

Need more practice with this? I practiced several times (at least 4-5 sessions). I just can't seem to think clearly after my HR has been maxed out for 45minutes, I get in some kinda pain zone and shut everything out.

Course: Course was shortened due to the rain, which was wise the downhill that was eliminated would have been pretty treacherous. Can't really say I took it easy due to the rain. Personal best for this distance by about 0.5mph.
