Comments:

Slightly better than last year ranking-wise, but no where near the level of improvement compared to the bike and run. Swim needs a lot of focus this winter.
Transition 1
  • 02m 16s
Comments:

Had a crappy transition spot, almost all the way on the other end from the bike out. Was a long run with the bike, but not a horrible transition overall.
Bike
  • 33m 44s
  • 11.75 miles
  • 20.90 mile/hr
Comments:

Good ride overall. Heart rate was really high coming off the swim again, but settled down on the back half of the ride. Was fun being able to push it with such a short distance. Was 7 mph faster this year, I'm sure it's all the bike.
Transition 2
  • 01m 25s
Comments:

Nothing much to report
Run
  • 22m 15s
  • 3 miles
  • 07m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

Pleasantly surprised with the 7:25 pace. Had no idea what it was, didn't take a watch or the Garmin with me on the run. Just went out and gave it all I had. Improved my pace more than 3 min/mile from last year.

Event comments:

Good race overall, KLM seems to be doing better as time goes on.
