course might have been a tiny bit shot <100 yards but there was heavy waves due to full moon

nothing, pretty good swim overall. Olympic group got tore up by jelly fish, no issues for the sprint.

business as usual, with exception of taking gu in transition.

nothing

2nd fastest bike ever in a tri, missed it by 18 seconds. there was a lot of overcast clouds which kept temperatures down. i might have over-hydrated on the bike because i felt sluggish on the run.

take in less Gatorade endurance, took gu right before transition.

came in and everyone had thrown there bike in my spot so i had to rack it 2 spots over. i put socks and newton tri nv^2 on instead on the newton tri racers because of blistering from last race. took a hotshot exiting transition to help prevent cramping.

nothing, almost no time lost in t2 from past 2 races.

best run of the 3 race tri series, still not where it should be but overall losing 10 pounds has made a significant impact. wore the new sugoi sleeved tri suit rs which allowed me to keep the top on just unzipped and wore the xterra trucker hat to help keep me cool. came out at 7:08 174bpm, then hit 7:16 177bpm, and closed with 7:27 180bpm.

need more speed work to be able to hold it together at the end of the race.

watch friends finish, ate pizza, collected awards.


the heat and a few extra pounds


this race started at 7:00 to minimize heat impacts but also reduced the traffic on the road. continues to be a great series.
