seemed to pass a few people even though it was only 100 yds

uh, maybe go in a pool a train a few laps.

T1 was run to swim. I suck at transitions. There is always a problem. I had a common one today. couldn't get the stupid helmet strap to click in.

I was strong for the bike, it seems like my technique and my ability to spin are much better than before.

Still need to train more.

T2 was bike to swim. I was much more efficient than T1 and was able to pass a few people on the way over to the pool even.

I always feel like I have more speed in me but just can't push it out.

AS always I don't train nearly enough. 10-12 hours a month doesn't cut it. I crushed my prior PR on the course by about 8 minutes, but that's because I used to train 3-4 hours a month.

stretch but not enough. Eat burgers and drink beers with my wife and a friend who came up from Newport Beach for the race.


lack of training.


This is my local hometown race. It seems to be running smoother than it used to. Overall a fun well run race but amateurish. They need timing chips to get exact split times. Also should have enterance and exit of transition on opposite ends so that early rackers don't get an unfair advantage: I see enterance exit in the same spot at a lot of races and its just stupid and annoying.
