Something seriously wrong with my swim. Did an OWS at the same lake couple of weeks ago, everything was fine. Swam the Thurs before the race and I was getting passed by everyone out there, same thing happened with the race.

Stop neglecting my swim training I guess. Maybe my forearm issue is causing be problems, but I don't feel it when I swim.

T1 was ok, nothing special

Could have run a bit harder up from the water. Need to practice mounting with shoes attached to the bike for future races.

Pretty happy with the bike leg. Goal was to average over 20mph, managed 20.6, so can't complain about that.

Not much, left my bike racked in too high of a gear, not a big deal, but need to remember that next time.

Not the best T2. Fumbled around getting the bike racked a bit. Somehow grabbed the race belt of the guy next to me, almost didn't notice, but slowed me down once I did. Got shoes switched out good.

Pay more attention

Pretty happy with the run too. Hard to believe I'd rank better on my run than my swim.

Not much, keep on training, start looking to pace at < 8:00 minutes a mile.

Water, accellerade, beer.


Crappy swim and overall fitness, pretty satisfied with my improvement in just a year though.


Really well run. Didn't stay for the pancake breakfast, but think that is a nice touch. Maybe one more water station on the run, but then I chug more water than most.
