Guesstimated my swim time at 8 mins. I was bib number 139 and was the 139th fastest swimmer. I wish I could swim faster.

The swim went really smooth for me with not to much congestion in the pool.
I was able to pass quite a few slower swimmers and was passed by 2 or 3 faster swimmers.

Time is included with the bike split. I had no trouble in T1...went very smooth.

I knew the course very well and rode it as fast as possible in the rain. It has a lot of turns so I had to be careful about sliding.

Ride a little faster on the straightaways.

Time is included with the bike split. I got lost coming into and out of T2. I counted bike racks and was off one coming in and went the wrong way going out. Finally heard someone screaming and I got going the correct way. It cost me about 10-15 seconds.

Pay more attention before the race.

This is where I lost the race for age group. They changed the course from last year. It is now longer and has more hills. I had so much left in the tank at the end, I could have run a lot faster.

Attack the course instead of being conservative.

Bottle of water, got all my stuff to the car, took a long hot shower.


The rain made it hard to go full out.


Race Day Events was unorganized again. Several bikers were directed the wrong way on the course so they were disqualified. The Delta girls did a great post race job. I helped them make P&J sandwiches after the race.
