Finished up the swim better then I thought. But running out of the water to the trasition area was about 400 m run after the swim.. I finished the swim in like 6-7th place but got passed by 10 people running to the time mat...hahha.

More practice in swimming. And more work on breathing. I was holding my breath a lot to keep pushing. But finished up way better then I thought I would do.

T1 plus Bike plus T2 all rolled into bike time

Nothing. I had a good transition. They had us all run to the end of the transition and around and back down to our bikes in order to make it fair for everyone. I think this was a bit of a farce. If you get their early and get a great spot in transition why shouldn't you benifit from it....

Great course, Very happy with my cycling. Second lap got difficult with increased traffic and it got difficult to pass in a few spots. I was warned about drafting in one spot but the road was 5 wide with cyclists and me shouting for room to pass. Then when I was back on the main road on my way back I knocked my Garmin off on the road. I slowed down and then said to heck with it and picked the pace back up. My buddy passed me when I did this.

Make sure my Garmin was securely snapped in. I didn't have it for the run and I suffered for it.

Combined with bike time. I was pleased again with it. The racks were high and there were still some kids bikes taking up space around the limited racks. But still very happy with my transistion

Nothing

I went out too hard without my Garmin I was not too sure of my pace. I walked once on the leg out for about 20 seconds...then started running again and realized I must be pushing too hard. I also had to walk once on the way back for about 20-30seconds. My average run pace is 7:15 and I my tempo pace is 6:30. I must have been pushing about 5:30ish or so at times which caused me to have to stop and walk. Even with the walks my average pace was just under my long run pace... Still very pleased

Need to improve on my running and find a way to know my pace without my garmin. I rely on it too much. I also should not have dropped my garmin on the bike.

walk around hug my wife and high five friends and eat a banana and drink more.. wander around and wait for results... cheer on other people


I went out too hard on the run. and without my garmin I didn't know how to pace myself.


Great Race, Lots of volunteers that desirve a round of applause. The Transition area being about 400 m from where you end the swim was a bit rough. Didn't like the fact you had to run into the transition then run around it to get to your bike. But well orginized with lots of people helping. Great event. I will be back for next year for sure.
