Good start but after rounding first buoy I kept getting off line towards the shore. It was an incoming tide that might have been pushing me and I should have been sighting more frequently.

Keep working at Masters to get faster.

Good transition with no problems.

Nothing

My legs felt tired at the start and I'm not sure why, as I wasn't kicking hard during the swim. I think I could have gone a little harder, but pretty happy with the bike.

One of the best T2 times I've had. It helps that the transition area was small and I didn't have to run far, but I don't think it could have gone any better for me, unless I had sockless shoes!

Nothing

I'm getting about as much out of my run as I can for now. Coming off an Achilles tear in April and trying to keep my mileage to a minimum. I was happy that each 1/2 mile my pace was quicker and during the winter I'm going to work at increasing my speed.

Not much. Drink water and wait for friends to finish.


This race should develop into a larger race, as it is a really nice course, but the race director will have to do a better job at insuring things go off on time. Things were very slow at race day check in, with the need for an additional person helping at the table. Also, nobody understands why the swim course was not set up until after the race was to start, and it appears the Oly course was short. All that considered, I enjoyed the race course and appreciated all the volunteers helping to put on the race. I would definitely consider this race again next year.
