Started swim in a bad area of the wave. It got really crowded and there was just no where to go. I had my legs pushed down 3 times and the guy next to me was actually trying to kick people. It took a little time to seperate, the rest of the swim went fine. I just didn't feel fast though. The wetsuit may have helped as most everyone else had one but it was just too hot. My swim time stood out on the results page as slow but I felt good out of the water.

I should have found a better place to start and work on my swim a little more.

I can't believe I forgot to set the gear on the bike. Out of transition was a pretty good climb and of course I left my bike in the big ring. Had a little trouble with my helmet clasp but got it all figured out. I was a little discouraged because being one of the few without a wetsuit, I thought I could make up some time on the transition.

think, think , think

Felt good on the bike. I have continued to improve and that is a plus. I was 2 minutes faster on this course than I was in April. All is good!

keep pushing

went smooth

nothing

I had a good run. I passed 7-8 people and 3 were in my age group! I felt strong off the bike so that made it an enjoyable run.

speed work?

found the family and cooled off. It was right at 100 degrees at the end of the race so it took some time.


I had a good day. Today the swim stood out as "needs work" but I was happy with the race.
