What limited your ability to perform faster:

I had a cold the week before and I felt it.

Event comments:

They need to re-evaluate the swim course to avoid the shallow areas, but overall this was a beautiful course. It was by far the most difficult course I've raced but still a lot of fun!

The triathlon made a lot of sense as I could fit the training around early mornings and other times that wouldn't eat too much into my family time. Things never go completely to plan do they?

Both the Lake Triathlon Shoe CX210TRI and the Lake Road Shoe CX225 offer distinct advantages. I tested both shoes and found them to be extremely comfortable, good looking and durable.
