This was probably one of my best swims time wise. There is a considerable walk out of the lake to transition. I walked this portion. Could have cut 25 seconds had I run this part. My only complaint on the swim is that I zig zagged a bit. The water was perfect.

I could use more swim lessons and time in the pool to improve efficiency.

4th in age group and 30th overall. No certainly could have cut 15 seconds by going faster.

Not too much. I chose to be slower and more methodical.

This was my first ever bike ride with an average over 19. It is a pretty fast course and I took advantage. I pushed harder on the hills knowing my run would be weak regardless of my bike effort. On the last climb on the frontage road along the interstate I maintained a 17 MPH pace which was great. It is also amazing how much faster I can ride during races...mainly because I am racing. I am always looking ahead to see who I can catch. And when I am passed I try to keep up as long as I can. This helps propel me to a better time.

It was a career best ride. It was great and it was a lot of fun.

I certainly could have pushed harder. I was 5th in my age group.

I don't practice transitions. I could benefit from practice.

About what I expected. Despite the slow pace I felt pretty good. I ran the last mile in under 10 mins so it was a stronger finish. I grabbed a bit of water at each station.

I need a lot more miles.

Training


A great race for me despite lack of consistent training. I beat my best time on this course by nearly 2 minutes. The weather was perfect for racing.
