Course was a big advantage for me as my navigation is usually an issue. With the canal being 20 feet wide, I never had to look to see where I was going or if I was off course. Freestyle stroke the entire course. Just felt great. Navigated turns well. Passed a bunch of people.

Just train more in the pool...I should be swimmimg 1:40 to 1:50's all the time.

Not a bad transition... alittle dizzy trying to bend over to remove wetsuit.



Nothing

Felt great on the first loop. Maintained a nice tempo the entire loop and felt great. Thought everything was going great until I hit the wall about mile 20....lack of good long rides. Took away a good overall bike and later hurt the run.
But I am not complaining... I felt good with this ride

More long rides

Need to get this under a minute as before

I just had nothing in the legs...which was suprising. I am not sure what happened. I was expecting a 9 minute mile pace and through the first 5 k I was on pace. Then the wheels fell off. The last 5k took 35 minutes.
I had to walk through the waterstations and brief 30 seconds periods a few additional times.
Oh well!!

Needed to maintain 9 minute pace throughout. Maybe started to fast on first 5k...25 minutes.
The additional 6 minutes meant 40 spots overall and a top 50 % finish

Brief ride to stretch legs and visiting with a few friends.


Any real ability


Another great Tuxedo Brothers event. Fantastic new venue downtown and one I would recommend to new triathletes (the also had a sprint and a duathlon) and the swim was very well done. It allows for excellent navigation and if someone panics they can just stand up.
Bike and run were nice setup.
