Comments:

This was a snake style swim start, seeded by the time you estimated. I was surprised to be the fifth person starting. I waited to get passed, especially on the last 150yds, but it never happened. I felt ok in the pool, but I need to work on my form a bit more. Still, I finished 20 sec faster than last year.

Still slow. I have mountain bike shoes and socks to work with. Takes me awhile.

Comments:

I was terrible up the hills. I felt good on the flats and declines, but waited to get burned going up those hills. My computer stopped working 1/4th of the way in, so I didn't really know how well I was doing. I was also all by myself the entire race.
What would you do differently?:

work on hills more.

  • 00m 51s
Comments:

Decent.
Run
  • 22m 46s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 19s  min/mile
Comments:

I felt pretty slow. I was surprised I ran a sub 23 min. I had to walk at the top of the hill. I didn't have much of a kick, which I think means I paced myself pretty good throughout the run.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe amp the pace a bit more.

Good job, Gallup is probably tougher than most sprint courses.
