Very good swim. i swam the whole way, never stopped once to get my bearings or calm down.

At one point i was right next to another swimmer. i pushed real hard and sped away from him and then slowed down a bit. felt a bit out of breath but nothing bad.

Not one thing

wetsuit got stuck on heels. i sat down and had a hard time getting the suit off my feet. realized i should have done it differently.

remember to stand and take suit off by using my feet.

remember to start my bike computer before the start of the race.

Got a neck cramp out 5 minutes into the bike. this was the first ride of the year outside. all riding had been done on a trainer.

i felt good fitness wise but had some issues staying in aero position. towards the end of the ride got a bit better. just need to get out and ride more.

nothing. was shooting for 37 minutes, but missed that due to having to sit up every few minutes.

i had some issues getting my socks on. i normally race without socks for sprints but i needed to practice with socks for Patriot next week.

not sure

good run. wanted to stay at a 9:00 min/mile pace and then push at the end. I was able to do that without any real issues

nothing

not much. sat in the tent at the finish line and rested. drank some water, got gatorade and then some food.

walked around a bit and then headed to transition, as i had to leave quickly.


was keeping with pacing and speeds for Patriot. overall this pace was very comfortable and i could have gone faster.


Good race. I unfortunately couldn't stay for the beer garden afterwards. I had to leave to go coach a kids baseball game.

I liked this race much better than escape the cape that it replaced. next year i'll probably do the Olympic.
