poorly marked course. people were swimming everywhere and i am fairly certain some people cut the swim course short. hard to sight the turnaround bouys. got of course a little.

had trouble getting suit off and then issues getting socks on wet feet. damn i suck at T1.

legs felt dead and just had trouble pushing it. left race wheels at home which may have helped a little. dropped chain after a big climb which slowed me and had some jackass pass me and then slow so that i could drop back properly after being overtaken. i finally decide to pass him and i got a 2min penalty. cant tell if penalty was assessed or not.

really good T2 for me. was off and running in no time!

strong run. held pace with a fast duo for 2miles until hill but still ran hard thru out. really pounded the pavement on the downhills to make up time. my run has now become a weapon to gain ground in races. me likey!

ate a few sausage wraps with a beer and talked with some locals as well as BTer jacob evans. props to jacob for racing a tough course a week after kona.


bike legs not there.


ok race. entry fee cheap so cant have huge expectations for post race activities and food. biggest beef was the marking of the swim and the road conditions for the bike. not much you can do about either.
