Felt really good on the swim. I passed two people on the 2nd lap. The first refused to get out of they way.

I can't think of anything I would do differently. but hopefully go faster.

T1 is getting faster this year. I am pleased with the time. Everything was soaking wet.

I kept changing gears hard to easy and never got my speed up really fast. I kept the cadence up around 80 and for a period mid 80's. Front break was loose and kept rubbing on the right side. As I got into the higher gears the chain would slip. I need a really good off-season tune up.

Go Faster

Passed up my rack space. I counted the racks before hand but could not find my spot. I need to mark my spot somehow to find it more easily.

Arghhh. I have not been doing any speed work and it shows. My run times are slowly slipping. I would say the hard rain and the mud on the trail were bad but that is only an excuse. I worked on longer runs this year but need to get back to speed.

The usual, walked around got fluids and ate a burito


Speed work.


This was well organized for a first time race. I liked the 50m pookl swim as it was different from most races. It is a good course and I would do it again.
