A little bit faster than my last race but swimming is obviously still my weak point. Huge area for improvement over the rest of the year and into next season.

Comments:

There was a bit of a run from the lake to the transition area. Maybe 200-300M or so. Most of the way was through the grass so it was easy on the feet.

I would have like to have done a bit better in the final 5K of the bike but I just didn't have it in my legs. Overall I was happy with my bike time on this challenging course.

Comments:

I was quite happy with my run. My knees were a bit sore getting off the bike after the tough hill at the end of the bike but I was able to get loosened up in the first mile or so. Felt strong throughout the run and was able to make up some nice time that I gave up in my swim.

Course: The course had quite a few rolling hills. The 20K going out was more downhill and was able to make good time. The ride back in was tougher with more uphills. Was making decent time until the final 5K. It seemed like the rest of the way was uphill including one killer hill in the final 1 or 2K. Made for a tough start to the run.

Hi conwayan, great job, especially #1 in AG for that run!!! I was there too. That run was really rough for me after that bike course which left me dead. What a beatiful day, though. We couldn't ask for a better day for a tri race. That was my first Oly tri and I learned quite a bit. Although I finished 2 (out of 4) in AG, I wasn't too happy with my time. There are tons of things I could improve! One of which is, run after bike. Maybe you can share some secrets

It was a perfect day for racing. Congrats on your first olympic! During training I always try to run for at least 15 minutes or so after any biking that I do just to get the legs used to switching from one sport to the other. But the run was certainly difficult after that bike course. Those hills definitely took a toll on my legs.
