There was some good chop out there due to the wind, it was noticeable. They had us start in heats according to age group, so I started in the second heat, 5 minutes back of the first heat. Well, this is ok, but if you are a faster swimmer you are guaranteed to catch some of the slower swimmers in the first heat. So I had quite a time navigating around the slower swimmers from the first heat.

Not much to do differently, swim faster I guess.

I probably would have got 2nd place overall if I had decent transitions. I thought I was doing good till I saw the official results with transition times. If I would of had the same transition times as the guy who got second, I would have beat him by xx:xx:01

Just get the routine down a little quicker, I have improved but there is about 20 seconds that I could be faster.

Just head down and hammer.

Had a decent transition. Just need to be a little quicker. Would like to get it under 1 minute.

Run is my week point and that shows from the results. I am getting better and I was able to hold off most everyone, since coming off the bike I was in first, but two guys "caught" me. They didn't really catch me because they started 2 heats back (10 minutes), but their final finish time was quicker than mine.

Not much I could do, I pushed it throughout. .

Did a 5 mile run with a friend.


Transitions and Run. I need to work on both, more on the run though. For this distance of race, I need to be down around 6:10 minute miles or so.
