Swim
Comments: Much better swim than last week, because I didn't try to go the whole first length on 5 x 5 breathing. Did maybe 10 strokes at 5 x 5 then settled into a normal pattern. What would you do differently?: Nothing; pretty decent swim for me. Transition 1
Comments: Little longer than normal, but due to the cold I had to take the time to shrug on a thermal bike jersey, then sit down on the curb to get my shoes on rather than tromping through the grass, and then pull on gloves. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Given all of the above, a pretty good T1. Bike
Comments: Took first loop generally easy, then pushed on second by performing five-minute harder intervals on a couple of minutes generally easy spinning. What would you do differently?: Nothing...pretty good bike leg. Transition 2
Comments: Again, due to my area being in the wet grass, I didn't want to put my shoes on and have debris in them that'd bother me during the run. So I again sat on the curb to get my shoes on. Feet were like little blocks of ice. What would you do differently?: A little longer than I'd expect, even given the above, but not too bad. Run
Comments: Actually a good run for me, these days, breaking a 12:00 mile. Had a plan, stuck to it. Still cannot understand how I ran the first mile as fast as I did. Miles 2 and 3 were more what I expected. Maybe not being able to feel my feet at the outset (due to the cold) - felt like I was running in clown shoes - is the way to go. What would you do differently?: Not a thing. Post race
Event comments: Solid event, if a little short, but that makes it a fun morning. Get in, do the race and blow it out, then go home. Last updated: 2023-03-20 12:00 AM

Age Group Rank = 5/6
Up around 5:30 for a couple pieces of toast. Pumped tires on bike and headed to site, about 25 minutes away.
Minimal. Tough to warm up when you're waiting to jump into the pool.
