As the earlier waves went out you could see the current pushing everyone to the right. I started the wave to the far left and near the front of the group. At the gun I started with the group and quickly distances myself from the pack. At Ironclad in May I think the cold water pysched me out. Today I stuck with my regular breathing and was right on with my sighting as I went right under each buoy at the turns. My storke feltgood throughout.

Not much maybe start more towards the front in future races.

Overall it went well, I watched to BT video to get any new tips which helped me out.

Maybe invest in tri shoes in the future.

This is where I had mjor issues last year with my tires and wnated to do much better this year. I pushed the bike the whole time and did well hiting 22 mph on the straight aways. I still have work to do on the bike as it is my weak link. I am happy with my results so I can't complain. I actually passed people today, most of them were on mountain bikes, but I still passed them.

My time riding to increase my speed and endurance.

In and out pretty quickly.

nothing.

Heading into transition I looked at my watch and realized that coming in under 1:20 was within my reach. I hit the course and got into a grovve prettyy fast. My legs felt good and passed numerour people. I only got passed by two.

Nothing.

Got a bagel and had some gatorade I had brought.


The post race spread is not the greatest, but overall its not a bad event. It's close by and relataively inexpensive. I took almost 14 minutes off of my time from last year, and realize that Ironclad wa just a bad day for me.
