Solid performance, hoped to be sub 30min. My navigation skills weaken when I get tired, second lap I could not swim a straight line.

Get in a few open water swims prior to event.

I have been struggling getting the suit off the feet. There is an easy 30 seconds in there somewhere to improve.

Not sure yet, we'll get it solved - this is part of the fun in trying to improve

A bit breezy, I focused on staying in aero, and keeping the cadence up. My pace seemed to be a bit off, but my plan was not to blast the bike and bonk on the run. I was trying to keep some reserve. Every tri last year I put too much into the bike for my fitness level and struggled on runs.

Adjust my bike fit. Turns out I did have a problem, made some adjustments last week and did not have time to get another opinion on my position. My seat was too high, legs were over extended and I smoked my upper hams and glutes!

I have not worked on the 'flying dismount' not sure I am ready yet. Again there is 30 seconds of slow poking around I can correct, although my transistions are faster than last year. Damp socks from the drizzle caught me off a bit, I was slow to get them on.

I do need some speed laces for the running shoes.

My best run in a tri ever. I had good nutrion and hydration coming off bike giving me the energy to hold my pace to the end. Got lucky with the overcast skies, heat was not a factor.

Nothing, ran very close to my potential for the day.

Stood in the rain! Hit the snacks, light stretching.


The bike setup did not allow my to reach my potential for the day, but I had major gains from last year on the swim and run and exceeded my goal for the race
