 Swim
Comments: 73 out of 99!! Really, truly, one of the worst swims I've ever had. And then I cut my foot walking out of the water and limped to the bike, but the bleeding had mostly stopped What would you do differently?: There is too much to say...  Transition 1
Comments: just getting it done and trying to breathe a bit slower, sitting down to put on the bike shoes, I thought about putting socks on to stop the bleeding but it was stopping already What would you do differently?: swim like a normal human athlete  Bike
Comments: Could not control my breath for the better part of 5 miles. Tried to hold FTP +/- the entire way and let the chips fall where they would on the run. It's fun pushing like that. Could have done better on the downs but burned a lot of matches on the ups What would you do differently?: Probably nothing, I liked going at it hard. 6/99 on the bike split OA baby and beat out both the Guertins on the bike-they must not have been trying.. Transition 2
Comments: was chatting it up a bit with people in transition-not a lot of focus but I got my stuff off/on and got out of there OK; under 1 minute is always my goal What would you do differently?: Focus  Run
Comments: It was hot. I pushed but didn't want to injure myself for the HIM this weekend so I was lucky that I didn't tweak anything-especially at those run paces, fast for me. Happy enough with 30/96 OA. There are always faster people out there, I just have to run within my self. What would you do differently?: zippo Post race
Warm down: sat in the lake, cleaned out my cut and took some advil checked on another cyclonaut who had similiar issues with breathing as me and I think he has asthma (I gave him my inhaler, gotta get another tomorrow as that was my only rescue inhaler) What limited your ability to perform faster: sprint tri is about execution of each leg-quickly, smoothly and holding your best pace, today, I was average to above average for the total grade. Swim=D Bike=A Run=A- PR for the sprint distance for me. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1216207682/2 Event comments: fun race, fun night-wish I could have had the time to go out and socialize, but not tonight...Go Cyclonauts!

Done on a whim, so I wasn't sure I'd have everything set to go, but I threw it all in the truck and hoped for the best. It was apparently a cyclonaut's event for Bill Lodi and I was happy to be involved/invited. Didn't go along with the 'speedo' shorts which all others did. sometimes it's OK being the outlier...
set up shop/chatted with Doug and Gerry and met a bunch of other nice people along the way; quick warm up swim did not settle my nerves
swam 5 minutes; water was warm, I was not nervous but the crowds didn't start getting closer yet..
