Water was pretty choppy, wind coming straight at us on the start caused us to swim into the current. Then, on the back in part the same waves that should have been carrying us to the finish were actually bouncing off of the break wall and creating an undertow. So essentially, it felt like an against the current swim the entire way. Also the most Ultimate Fighting Championship start I have ever experienced in Triathlon. People were REALLY aggressive this year. Had my goggles knocked off for the first time ever. All in all though, a good swim (actually a PR) given the conditions.

Just keep putting in time and effort. Slowly getting better and age group ranking is starting to steadily improve

This was a really good transition. Felt great getting out of the water, everything went on well. Best T1 of any Oly Tri I have done.

Nothing

What can I say, I PR'd over Chicago by 2 min and cut 5:45 off of last year. The riding is paying off. I had an absolute blast on this ride!!

Nothing

This was also a PR T2 for an Oly. Really good. Only challenge was getting the watch strap on, need to practice.

Nothing

Was a little hot, but found some shade. Came out super strong and felt great through about 2.5 miles, then started to tighten up. Need to work with Dror so that I am consistent. I do not like the fading times. However, this is an Oly PR after a smokin' fast bike, so I cannot complain.

I think I need more Tempo runs, less long stuff. However, my training is for IMLP, not Oly's. After IMLP I will focus on Oly's and 70.3's

Walked around, drank beers, had some chow.


Being short and a touch fat.


Phil LaHaye and his team produce an awesome race. This is more of an event!
