Comments: 7 years since being on the bike...just wanted to spin at a fast rate and enjoy the ride and be ready for the 2nd run What would you do differently?: hind sight i would have rode my road bike...my Specialized Tarmac.. 1. no need for a tri bike for this short of a ride 2. my tri bike was still set up from when I did IMTX so it is set up really "aggressive" i havent been riding it enogh to be comfortable in that aero of a position. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: the dismount snuck up on me...i was out of my shoes but feet were still on top of shoes..i was planning on dismounting on the left side while still rolling...just stopped and climbed off.. felt wierd since ive always had a rolling dismount...not too worked up about it. been too long since ive raced. What would you do differently?: paid better attention where the dismount was ![]() Run
Comments: good run..never walked...happy with my pace and how it felt. What would you do differently?: nothing really ![]() Post race
Warm down: water and walked around What limited your ability to perform faster: 7 years of not racing and only training for 2 months Event comments: swim was cancelled for the 2nd year in a row. wont do the race again unless they figure out something. imtx was just done in the same water 2 weeks ago.

drove up to the Woodlands from my house
Transition opened at 5:30 so i was there about 5:45. Haven't raced since 2017 so was super ready to just get there and take it all in.
racked bike and walked around and jogged around and stretched until my wave time at 7:08 was there. This race became a duathlon....which really sucks.. swim was cancelled due to water quality..happened last year too...im sure some people liked the swim being cancelled but it think it messes up the race.
