wanted to do better on the swim but it was choppy and against the current.Started in the middle of the wave. Felt comfortable. Stayed on course well, sighted well, Except for whacking into ELLEN now and then, (haha) slow but good. Out of the water in something like 12:48 and then a run up the beach to the mats.
no wetsuit

Now that I feel good on just about any distance swim, I have to work on speed. Maybe a good wetsuit next year would help.

bit of a jog along alley to trnsition area, the area was right there but you had to run down to the end to get in, kind of funky.
Gotta work on clothing, dry shirt on a wet body slowed me down a bit. Time seem to slip by.

figure out a better shirt or upper bidy covering, maybe go sleeveless or all in one suit

kicked the bike, made up for a slow swim. This time includes both transitions so really the bike was about 25 minutes and 22 mph ave on my computer. 13 mph on hills, 22-24 on flats and top of 35 on downhills.Feel good about that. Passed quite a few on the bike.

Work smoother on the hills.

Changed ok.

WEAR SOCKS!!!! Alway listen to your mother!! Like a dummy I tried another race with no socks, figured a short run would be ok. Worked ok on a du but definetly not on a tri. Right foot all messed up with blisters,

Happy about time, under 8 min/mi.!!Good transition to run legs. I bit slower than I wanted to do but felt a bit tired from bike and weather air was a bit humid. I felt a bit overheated. Good to have my crew doing water stops, had to look good for them. Tried to keep good form, kicked it up a notch sequentially to the finish. Felt like a good honest effort.

WEAR SOCKs!! Run faster, work on running

Keep walking, drink, put feet in ocean


Work on swim speed and form. Work on run speed.Work on transitions, getting better just have to tweak.


Well organized, well marked, especially like the run distances marked.
Time out does great races, just wish they would do longer distance stuff.
