Comments:

OK swim. Was able to stay relaxed in the water. Given how poorly I have been swimming lately was pleased with overall performance. Felt that will be able to comfortably finish the 1/2 IM swim at B2B in Nov. Now I need to work on speed.
Transition 1
  • 01m 14s
Comments:

Wicked mount/dismount area. Had to put shoes on in T1 b/c of this. Certainly added a lot of time trying to get the shoes on.
Bike
  • 37m 5s
  • 12.43 miles
  • 20.11 mile/hr
Comments:

Good bike. Got out of T1 with my friend dabrown. This is his home course so used him to pace this race. Was very comfortable ride. Could certainly have ridden it harder but probably would not have felt so good on the run. Certainly good to remember for B2B.
Transition 2
  • 01m 24s
Comments:

Once again, difficult mount/dismount line (on a hill). Also lost sig. time putting on socks (new running shoes still rubbing feet pretty badly).
Run
  • 24m 34s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 54s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt great on the run. Mostly b/c of not blowing it out on the bike. Legs felt the best ever off the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Saved too much on the run for the big hill at the end. Could have probably taken at least 30 sec. off time.
Post race
Event comments:

Some organizational issues with the bike/run routes going in and out on the same road. Otherwise great race.
