Swim
  • 25m 33s
  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 34s / 100 yards
Comments:

Typical swim for me. Usually around 1:30+ per 100 yds.
What would you do differently?:

Learn to site better. I had to stop and look to make sure I was going the right direction. I tended to drift to the left, which is bad for a clockwise course.
Transition 1
  • 02m 16s
Comments:

I am really bad at mounting the bike. I stopped to put on socks for this distance, which didn't help.
What would you do differently?:

Learn how to do a flying mount on the bike.

Comments:

A very nice ride course. I wish I was better at hills and I could take advantage of it.
What would you do differently?:

Do better on the hills.
Transition 2
  • 01m 33s
Comments:

Slow transition. I really need to work on this. I stopped to put on my Garmin, race number belt, etc. Really need to work on a better system.
What would you do differently?:

Either wear the Garmin from the start or forget it. Learn how to do a flying dismount, etc.
Run
  • 49m 38s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 07m 59s  min/mile
Comments:

Great run course. Not too hilly and with lots of shade. It is hard to see more than about 1/10th of a mile ahead, making it difficult to get a target and run for them. That's good for slow runners like me.
What would you do differently?:

More bricks in training to run faster off the bike.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, stretched my piriformis muscle.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm having some problems with piriformis syndrome that is hurting my power on the bike and the run. I need to rehab and strengthen this to improve.

Event comments:

This is one of the best races I have run. The combination of a great course, close to home, and well supported, makes it great!
