Comments:

Swim went well, i was not expecting much here as i have not been in the water much at all this month. i jumped in with a giant cannonball!! passed two people and tied with one other.

the swim time included the long run to T1, so my swim time should have been right around 6 min.
What would you do differently?:

swim more!

Comments:

Ride was pretty solid, not quite what i know i can do but good given everything. i pushed the 1st lap a bit, and then hammered the 2nd. i was flying by people the whole ride like they were not moving.
What would you do differently?:

get some more sleep.
Transition 2
  • 00m 32s
Comments:

I had an issue here for the first time ever. i jumped off my bike from the tops of the shoes, but my feet were numb from riding with no socks and when i did i tripped and almost landed on my bike. recovered though and made it through alive!
Run
  • 18m 16s
  • 3.02 miles
  • 06m 03s  min/mile
Comments:

Run hurt a lot, i never really felt comfortable and was just plugging along. i guess this was my fastest run so far this year, but i never really got into a solid pace.
What would you do differently?:

i need to be running A LOT MORE
Post race
Warm down:

easy 20 min run.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

i've missed a ton of pool/run time over the past few weeks/month and i need to build that back up now.

I was also not looking for much out of this race as it was very very hard on me this week. this is finals week for us, so i have been getting about 4 hours of sleep a week. so this was a good dose of speed work:-)

I cannot believe your T1 and T2 times - amazing!  Fun to read the RR of someone who must know what they are doing.  I told my husband that I really enjoyed the 2 loop bike course, b/c I got to see all the fast bikes and racers as they sped by my on their 2nd loop!

Ok.  Have fun at graduation.  None of my family attended mine.  I'll see you later in the year or maybe on a training ride some day.
