Felt so much better than the last two swims, I was still slow but I did not panic at all this time. I kept plugging away, I only had to breast stroke about 5% of the entire race.

Practice higher distance swimming, improve speed, more open water practices

T1 went well, I took my time instead of rushing through which made it a bit easier to slip into shoes and get some water in me

Didn't feel as good on the bike today. The hills were brutal to me. I think I should of geared down a little instead of trying to attack them. It ultimately wore me out. The energy gel did help tremendously.

More hill training.
New bike :)

Good Transition, made sure I was fully hydrated before starting the run

I don't think I was prepared for all the hills on the run. Just when you thought you were through them another was looming around the bend. I kept a consistent pace though. Only got passed by twice.

Wear my yankz next time, I had to stop and tie my shoes at one point. D'oh!

warm down walk around track at finish line


I think I needed more rest


What a great race, it was very challenging. It was very well put on too! Kudos to the organizers. This one will be on my calender next year for sure.
