Started out way too hard. Had to roll on my back twice to catch my breath. Water was a bit chilly. I went off course on the return side of the loop.

Start more easily and keep to my normal swim pace.
Change my breathing side so that I would stay on course better. I kept swimming towards the sun and as a result way left, on the return side of the course.

Took a long time in T1. Was out of focus after the run. I wasn't wearing a wet suit.

Need to be more smooth. Think about the steps as I am running out of the water to my bike.

The course was nice overall. Has a few small hills, with one really nice and long down hill, which allows you to get some really good speed.

Just need more training in this area. I am a slow biker.

I was pretty quick through here. I did stop to drink some gatorade.

Drink enough fluids before entering the transition area. I was slow at racking my bike.

I pushed it pretty well here. I was 30 seconds faster than my last tri 5k. Just need to perform more bricks to get my legs up to speed faster.

Nothing, as this run went pretty well.

Some stretching and replenishment of the calories.


Training, training, training. I will be focusing on swim and bike in the off season.


The race was nicely set up. The transition area was setup with more than enough bike racks to everyone was nicely spread out. Plenty of volunteers marking the course. Bike was in a low traffic area.
