My swim wasn't too bad for me. I started off nice and easy and just got a good rhythm going. The buoys were on my right which is usually a problem for me because I breathe left but I sighted fine. Coming back in the last half I think I picked up the pace a little but never really pushed at all. I didn't feel tired at all when I got out which was good.

Nothing really. I guess I could of pushed it harder but I'd rather feel fresh going into the bike and run.

This time includes the run from beach. I would guess it's around 100 yards up to transition. I fumbled around a little with getting my wetsuit off a usual. My transition spot wasn't great. I had a long way to run for the bike out.

Get there earlier for a better Transition spot.

Overall a decent ride for me and I was in the top 50. I never pushed too hard and I spun easy up the hills. There was this guy that I was playing cat and mouse with for a long time and finally dropped him the last few miles. I'm not sure but I swear he kept grabbing my wheel when I passed him.

Nothing.

This was a good transition. Anytime I'm under a minute that's good.

Nothing

I felt pretty good the first 1-2 miles. I got into a good rhythm and just cruised along and then came the hills. It may have been because of the 1/2 marathon last Sunday but I had nothing in my legs today on the hills. This was a very average run for me. Tyra met up with me for the last mile of the run which helped. The last 1/2 mile was a nice flat stretch into the finish.

Nothing really. I may have had a better run without the 1/2 Mary the week before but other than that I did my best.

I drank some gatorade and water. Ate a banana and some oranges and just hung out for a little while.


I'm a slow swimmer...enough said.


This race was well organized and fun. With the exception of them not realizing that they have the distances incorrect it's a great race. You would think that since they run this every year they would know the bike course is not 22 miles. Strange.
