Good swim. I wanted to be more aggressive and not back off when I was in a pack. I accomplished this well!
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

I really wanted this to be smooth and fast and I did pretty well. Was probably out in about 2 min, maybe 2:30. I still have a little work to do here.

Comments:

Really pushed on this ride. Lots of people to pass, so easy to stay motivated. HR around 150 - 155 which is where it's suppose to be.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

I could shave some time off here... I'll work on it.
Run
  • 51m 34s
  • 10 kms
  • 05m 10s  min/km
Comments:

I wanted to go hard on this run and I did eventually. First 3 or 4 km were rough, my legs felt like lead. I was running pretty smoothly, but not fast, HR was around 150. Started picking it up around km 4 and felt better. HR topped out around 157, so I'm still not running at threshold. I need to mentally get around this.
But overall a good run. Skipped several of the aide stations b/c I found my groove and didn't want to stop.

Event comments:

I love this race. Really beautiful setting, nice clean lake, very organized and great volunteers. AND a really fast field. Lots of big names here this year, Jasper Blake, Kyle Marcotte, Sara Gross. Fun!
