Swim went well. Didn't push too hard, but kept ot steady. navigation was good. A little surprised that it was over 16min, as I was hoping for 15:30, but I was still 45 sec faster than last time on this course

nothing

T1 went well. Jogged all the way up the hill from the lake. Sat down to pull off swimskin and put on socks and shoes. No real issues

nothing. Still 2nd in AG and 9th overall for T1

Good ride, even though I had forgotten my computer. Tried to keep effort very smooth, nad not have the big spikes/dips. Not having the computer made me focus on how I felt more than usual. Ended up being 1 min faster exactly than last time, so something went well.

nothing

Smooth T2. Shoes/helmet off and run shoes on quickly. Grabbed belt and hat and took off

nothign

Tough run. Quads startin gcramping on the second of 5 hills going out. First 2 miles were 7:37, 7:28. Felt pretty good til the turn around, but the first climb got me nad I had to walk the uphills from there on out. Never walked for more than 20 yds, but definitely slowed. 3rd mile was 8:12. Managed to run the last 1/2 mile, but was beat by the end. Had no speed to sprint in, but endurance felt ok.

train more

walked around, changed and packed up, waited around for awards


Very well done race again this year. Much smaller in years past becasue the Nashville Music City changed to this same weekend, so a lot of people opted for Nashville instead of this race. Still a great course, nice lake, good roads to ride. A tough run course though with the constant hills. Will keep doing this race, thoguh.
