Comments:

Flat course with the wind at your back. Can't ask for much more. Kilo-Dave even thought I was Macca (as he went blowing by me). The only glitch on the bike was coming into town where I had to stop at the main intersection. The officer directing traffic looked at me and said "I have no idea what I'm doing" - fortunately the light turned green just after that.
What would you do differently?:

More time in the saddle. Watching AJ and Kilo-Dave go by, you start to realize what it takes.

  • 01m 14s
Comments:

Slowest T2 for the top 10 finishers.
What would you do differently?:

Need to get out of the shoes prior to dismount.

Comments:

A little faster than last race but not where I want to be. This seems to be a mental thing.
Post race
Warm down:

Watching Brian and Julia finish.

Event comments:

I missed 4th OA and 3rd for men by less than 40 seconds. I'm slowly getting there. Congrats to Brian on his 1st tri and thanks to Kristine for her support out there on the course. A great way to spend a Sunday.
