This is by far my best swim. I was not freaked out today because I stayed away from everyone!! I think I could have swam faster but was happy to break 15 min (14:39) from pier to shore. (Had to run to T1) My strokes were more even and rhythmic ... breathed on both sides and also was able to navigate better today. I wanted to break 15 which technically I did!!

Swim faster! Train more in the pool.

My bike was jammed underneath the bar plus the guy beside had his stuff in my area!! I wanted to push his crap out of the way but I remained calm and nice, I guess.

Move the guys crap out of my way!!

I really enjoy the bike. I like the speed and my converted road bike (Scott Pro carbon) really did well. I wanted to break 45 in the bike and I was able to do that so I was pleased.

Keep training with longer rides ... 3.5 to 4 hour rides will help me in the next event. (Swiss Pine)

I was pleased with this time in T2

I am happy with my time because I have tried to pick my running up in training and it is starting to pay off. I still am only doing around 40 miles a month but now that school is out maybe I can get more milage in.

Nothing in this race. I accomplished my goal of breaking 22 in the run so I'm pleased.

light stretches ... drank water, apple, just relaxed and watched everyone else finish.


Training time


It was good to be here this year after being in the desert last year and missing the race. It is a tough race because of it's location but I recommend it and will definitely come back next year.
