See above

  • 1640 yards
  • 01m 24s / 100 yards
Comments:

The start was worse than last time. I got shoved and knocked of course quite a bit in the start. The rest of the swim was good I drafted well.
The swim was much shorter this time than last, that is why my swim was better.
What would you do differently?:

Wear my full suit, my arms weren't mooving real well.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Quick transition, they did not put T1 times down today, it was probably around 25 seconds.
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Run
  • 22m 2s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

The run must have been longer. Everyones time was up about 1:45 or so. So it is hard to say if my time was faster than last time.
What would you do differently?:

Go harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing really, talked to some Bt folks and some other friends and had a few beers!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Sleeveless wetsuit and the ride before hand. I think Brett and I went a bit fast, I cramped while running on shore to do the second swim lap.

Event comments:

Still a fun race on Wed. nights. I think it is helping my swim.

Great race!  Nice swim and run paces.  Oh, to be able to swim like that.
