So So swim- this obviously is not my strong point, but I already knew that
I forgot my goggles and had to use my backups- which suck and fogged up immediately, but really didn't cost me any time

swim more!

took an extra second or two here to make sure I had everything I needed

practice- I still could have been 20 seconds faster

Sweet ride! My best ever. I was passed by one person, then I played leapfrog with them the rest of the race. I mashed it out in my top 3 big gears and had the best ride yet. This was a classic time trial- I decided not to hold anything back here and see what happens on the run. I had very little company the rest of the race- and that was a good feeling!

practice swimming- I think I am good here!

clean transition. I took about 5 seconds to capture my breath and took off for the run. No socks- great time saver for these short races. Flying dismount was my prettiest yet

nada

I thought I would struggle here, and I had a hard time getting into a rythym. I still had my run failure of gulf coast in my mind so I spent the first 1/2 mile establishing a doable pace. at the first mile I picked it up and started passing some folks on the second loop. I ended up racing the 50 yr old group winner to the finish line.

I actually got comfortable on a few spots here which tells me I left a few seconds on the table, but I very happy with this split

water, cookie, coke and cheer on Courtney and Jamie. I knew I was getting hardware at this point but was pleasantly suprised to see how well I actually did


swim!


fun low key event. pretty good post race spread for a small race. Race director is Czech- so he is hard to understand, but he put together a pretty good race. My favorite part was the DJ at the finish line. He was spinning some techno and bouncing around like he was at a rave. Looked totally out of place and it was hilarious!
