 Swim
Comments: The swim was Ok. I felt really good and was able to keep good form throughout. I had a minor issue that ultimately turned out to be my own fault. I was counting wrong in my head the amount of laps I completed, so at the 325M mark I asked my lap counter if I had only 25M to go. She seemed surprised by the question, and instead of answering me right away she kind of gestured to keep going. Then I got to the other side where we exit and the volunteer on that side said I have 50M to go. Each of those times I stopped for a few seconds to figure out what was going on. My own stupid mistake because I had in my head the wrong number of completed laps. I probably lost about 5-7 seconds. Then there was about another 5-7 seconds of non-swim time in between where the timing mats were placed. So overall, my actual swim time itself was probably 6:40 or so, so I'm actually quite pleased with that.  Transition 1
Comments: Longer than expected. I decided to go shirtless in the pool, then tried to put on a shirt in T1. Bad idea! It got stuck and I struggled getting it on. The rest of T1 went fine, but I could have saved some time not having any shirt issues. What would you do differently?: Go shirtless or invest in a Tri suit!  Bike
Comments: I felt really good on the bike, especially going out. I averaged 19MPH, which is a huge improvement from a year ago. I'll take it! Transition 2
Comments: Quick transition and on the run course in no time!  Run
Comments: One word…..dissappointed. I basically ran the same time as last year. All of the training runs averaging 7:00/min. paces went down the drain. It was even more dissappointing knowing that a few weeks prior to this race I did a brick at this exact same course and ran a 7:07 pace. Only one thing I can think of….practice A LOT more bricks and get the legs used to the transition. What would you do differently?: Practice more bricks! Post race

Woke up at 3:30AM, showered, packed, loaded the bike on the car. By that time it was 4:30, ate some oatmeal w/ skim milk and 16 oz. water. Then made some coffee for the ride. Got to the course around 5:30 when it opened. Picked up the registration packet and began getting everything ready in transition. Not a lot to worry about, simple transition area and had plenty of room to lay out my stuff.
At 6:15AM went for a jog, decided to run the first 1/4 mile leg of the race, which was different from last year. Instead of starting the run down the driveway of the Swim Club, they took us around the club down a gravel road that picked up Rt. 26. It eliminated all the congestion on the driveway, since that is where bikers entered and finished and was also the end of the run course as well.
