Comments:

The course was out to a boat and back. There was a rope stretched out to the boat. I got next to the rope and was even with another swimmer (we were in front). Every 10 seconds he would turn and swim right into me. It wasn't like he was drifting into me but it was a definite turn right into me. That made me swim harder. He fell behind and I went out in front for the rest of the short swim.

I should have pushed this harder! No split time but I felt slow. Dead deer on the course. Looked pretty fresh. I was thinking the back straps were good.

What would you do differently?:

I haven't been spending enough time on my bike these past couple of weeks. Today it showed
Transition 2

Comments:

My transition location was great. I was able to ride right to it.
What would you do differently?:

I knew that the time was low as my spot was so great and I don't think I hurried as much as I could have. Hello, everybody had a great spot.

Comments:

I pushed the run. I have been working on pushing the run and feel good about this run. I was not passed by anybody. I did take a slight detour in the park that I shouldn't have taken. So that added 200 yrds to my run maybe. Oh ya a relay guy passed me during that so I was passed on the run.
What would you do differently?:

No detours.
Post race
Warm down:

A little bit of stretching. Some eating

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Week training in the bike these past couple of weeks.

Event comments:

It was good fun and great people all around. A highlight for the race was to meet a new triathlon pal. The long ride there and back went fast. Chit chatting with somebody with similar interests makes time fly.
