 Swim
Comments: This was an excellent swim for me. I went out hard. I was top three around first buoy. In the first 200M, I average 1:30 per 100M. I had to slow up from there because I can not maintain that speed and because of crowded traffic. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Transition 1
Comments: 1 st in age group; 6 out of 653 overall!!! What would you do differently?: Work on getting suit off while putting helmet on. Work on getting suit off with feet rather than sliding off with hands.  Bike
Comments: Again, biking appears to be my weakest link. I made great effort to improve my biking this year, and it has paid off. I think I need to get aero bars on my bike or think about getting a tri bike. More interval work and hills. What would you do differently?: More TITS! Transition 2
Comments: 3 rd in age group, 32nd overall What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: A solid run for me. About 1 minute faster than last year. I passed one age grouper during the run! What would you do differently?: My running volume leading up to the race was not the greatest. More hill work and strength workouts would have helped Post race
Warm down: Stretched and had a bunch of water. Found out that I had finished 8th out of 57 in my age group. With my time, I would have placed 3rd last year! Apparently, my age group showed up for this race! Last updated: 2013-09-16 12:00 AM

Sunny
Overall Rank = 34/653
Age Group = M40 - 44
Age Group Rank = 8/57
Woke up at 4:00 AM. I had a cliff bar and some powerade. The temperature was 35F...brrrrr! I stayed at a collegues house and biked to the race. I was one of the first ones there. Hindsight, I should have came later because rack locations were predetermined by bib, so no advantage of getting there early. I was set up by 5:30 AM and race was delayed 45 minutes because of fog...second year in a row! I was freezing!
30 minutes before swim start, I went in the water and stayed there. The water temperture was around 72F with the ambient around 45F during this time, so staying in the water was in my best interest. I did a couple sprints to warm up. I felt good. I had to repair my wet-suit the night before. A hole was found at the seem under my left armpit. I McGyvered it with some contact cement and rubber glove. This temporary fixed worked well!
