Definitely out of swim shape having not swam since states in middle of March. The fastest swim time was 5:11 and he took off right from the start. I tried hanging onto his feet but couldn't.

5:21 out of water plus :14 run into T1.

Technically part of the bike course, but really really struggled trying to get clipped into my shoes at the mount line. I definitely need to learn/practice having the shoes clipped in pre-race. Can't keep taking that much time in transition trying to get the shoes clipped in.

Pretty flawless T1 though besides the mount line.

Learn a flying mount.

Made a racing error by not taking advantage of the tailwind. I thought "riding 25 mph, I'll just hold this and be conservative for the run." Didn't work out that way on the trip back to transition.

Also, time likely would've been around 33:00 rather than 33:29 because of the mounting problems.

Take advantage of winds.

Took feet out of shoes way too early. Need to analyze the last half mile into T2 next time and walk through it in my head. Other than that, no problems.

Nice run course. Felt good on the run with a 6:17, 6:20, and then a 6:00 pace for the last 0.94. Run was a bit short.

Again though, should have realized how close the finishing line was. Made my move way too late thinking the course was a full 5k. Also, when getting passed with about 10 seconds to go, I should've made a surge. Had plenty left in the tank. Felt like I could have held that pace for a 10k.

Run has definitely improved, but need to use that to my advantage instead of holding back so much.

Go faster, race tactically.

Mount line problems, not racing smartly.


Just a well-run, solid small sprint triathlon/duathlon. Everything was on time and no problems during the race. Well put together.
