happy with this; started slow and on the left; we enter from the middle beach and come back to this point; must sight to the right of the big tree/building coming back

not much; one of my fastest swims and improved from last time here by ~90 seconds

I moved with pace to transition; jogged fast; kept my 3/4 socks on, which helps with the shitty asphault/rocks; got my swim shit off my head and unzipped and went>>>got to the bike and again couldn't get the wetsuit past the timing chip so I had to sit again (*probably took ~15 sec)

jogged to the mount line and off I went!

nothing except get that wetsuit off better/quicker

Couldn't hold goal power; wanted 220/225, but had AP=205; NP=226
I did coast a lot and soft pedaled on the downhills which killed the AP

kept cadence to 89, which is good for me especially with the coasting

very happy to be 1AG and 8OA on the bike in the sprint race

nothing; improved by only 10-15 seconds; but it felt pretty hard

I always run in my shoes, but do loosen them up in the last 1/2 mile so I can get them off while taking off my helmet and sitting down to put the run shoes on; this year, I actually put the run shoes on; last race, I kept trying to put the bike shoes back on...so sad

nothing

held good pace on the way out and started to run out of energy; not used to trying to hold speed and I faded badly on the last mile; watched 2AG go by me at mile 2 (the only person in the sprint to pass me-2 others did, but they were both in the oly) and he beat me by a minute-holy crap!

more run volume with more intensity; and have my feet ready for the Vaporflys!

chilled and chatted with Tom, whom I talked a lot to prior to the race


recent calf injury; low run volume, high stress week with eating/sleeping poorly


Tom's the best! I liked that it was the state HS championships in triathlon for the sprint. Hopefully the sport keeps growing. We need RD's like Tom, for sure. IMCT is not helping. Edited to add: USAT ranking of 84.887-second best ever.
