Comments: I still think the Cooper sprint triathlons are the best sprint triathlons in the DFW Metroplex in terms of venue and organization. This was smaller than the summer but still attracted 300 people!
I was very happy with this race as I got a Top 10 overall finish, but my AG is just so competitive that 6 out of the Top 10, including the overall Masters was from my AG! I need to drop another 1:30-2:00 minutes to be competitive on next year's podium. I think that is doable and I believe I have the fitness to get that now, but just need to have the mental experience to race at threshold. I left about 20-30 sec in the swim with poor decision-making and too easy of an effort, and the low effort on the bike was probably another 30-45 seconds at least.
Last 3 races on this course:
2011: 1:02:46
2012 summer: 1:01:36
2012 fall: 1:00:48
Delta: 48 sec faster!
