Great swim! Again went hard for 1st 200-300 yards and found a fast pair of feet to follow. Felt like I wasn't pushing but couldn't pass him so I just settled in and swam.

While I would love to think I swam this pace, I think the course may have been a little short.

Nothing.

T1 included about a 2/10 or more mile run uphill on a gravel road to transition which to say the least added considerably to my time. No I didn't take a nap in T1!! ;)

Nothing

Felt great on the bike, took it easy on the hills and got passed but seemed to catch everyone that passed me on the flats. Just tried to keep watts even throughout the whole ride.

Nothing

Nothing special just got ready to run.

Nothing

Felt good on the run, was able to keep pace where I wanted to and w/ the humidity could not have pushed it much further. Only 2 people passed me on the run, which is a first for me and I passed 2 right out ot transition. One of which was hammering all the hills on the bike and I would catch him on the flats. I was actually wondering how he was going to do on the run, because each time he would hammer past me on the hills I would think to myself he is bruning another match!!!

Nothing

Water, Water, Water and Watermelon!!! A little food and once I found out I place 3rd AG stuck around for the awards, just to hear my name called, never had that happen before!!


This is a PB by about 2 minutes on a tough course so I would say nothing, maybe the heat.


Would do this again , well organized and a pretty course.
