I do not know how this was my best swim yet. I was caught in the pack for most of the swim. I was smacked in the back of the head by another swimmer. The final strait was so shallow I was dragging my hands on the bottom. I gagged on water and almost puked. Still a PR!

Try to start at the front and get ahead of the people who can not swim a crooked line, let alone a strait line.

The transition was on a hill which led to the large hill that started the bike leg.

Put shoes on in T1 and clip in instead of having shoes clipped on bike and putting my feet in on the move. The hill and my wet feet made getting into my shoes difficult.

This was a good ride for me. It was not my fastest ride in a race, but I had a much better pace and the result was a much better 5k at the end of the race.

Maybe push a little harder. I also got out of my shoes way too early and had to ride the last 1.5 miles with my feet on top of my shoes.

Nothing.

Good run.

Push a little harder. Maybe run hard in intervals.

Sat in the shade and drank some fluids.


Nothing.


I still wish there was some activities for the spectators.
