Not bad for only 1 swim workout since January. Not sure why people were in wetsuits as the water felt pretty comfortable. Then again, I shouldnt talk with my split time.

Train.

Actually dropped my sunglasses and didnt realize it until out of transition on the bike. Dangerous but no issues during the bike.....I still have both eyes.

Anything around 1min is good for me.

Not much.....not drop sunglasses.

Good effort on the bike leg with the limited training. I expected more hills but no complaints. Really felt good on uphill and passed several folks. Didnt see anyone in my agegroup so either that means I was way behind or in front.....try behind.

Train more....average 20mph was a little slower than I expected.

Again anything around 1min is OK with me.

Grab a drink of H20 on last section of bike before dismount......no water station until turnaround on the run.

On the short uphill section right after T2 I was seeing two large sun-spots. It freaked me out and I thought I was overdoing it. This went away but kind of scary. Nice run on the trail.....not so boring but did provide challenges in trying to pass folks (and being passed). Again, didnt see anyone from my agegroup. Pleased with my time given the amount of training.

Train more.......for shorter bursts of speed.

Drink H20, grab a handfull of fruit/snacks and wasled a bit. Then I headed to transition for my gear.


Training level.....gotta put in the time if I want faster splits. Wanted to do this race to prove to myself I could turn in a "decent" time given lack of training with the relocation (gotta keep perspective).


Overall I really enjoyed this event. Seriously liked the run on the trail and the bike course. Would have liked to train more given the relocation from GA to OH and my new job. Just did not put the time in. Compared to other races, the post-race events (food) could have been better....but nicest t-shirt from any of my previous races. Great day for a race.
