Typical swim for me. Slow and steady.
Other than races I haven't swam since right before the Ironman so it is to be expected. Even still I'm slooow! I know it...

Seemed really slow. couldn't get out of the suit then could't get on the bike.


What would you do differently?:

Next year I'll have tri shoes so It will be smoother.

Felt really strong on the bike. No mechanicals. Started to fade towards the end of last lap. Additional hill training for next year.

Head winds both directions weird how that works???

This is a real challenging course. Very little is flat. There are several cool downhills and several pretty big up-hills.
What would you do differently?:

More training. Again, since Lake Placid I have slacked off a bit.

Event comments:

Overall, a good event. Should have started at 7am so the run didn't go into the hottest part of the day but...
If you're looking into this race for next year take your training seriously. This is a hard race!
