Comments:

Decent swim for me other than not being able to see the bouys very well. Maybe for christmas some prescription goggles? Met my goal of avoiding drowning so I'm happy with that.
What would you do differently?:

Flippers would have been nice.

Comments:

I haven't ridden much in the last three weeks due to a little knee pain so I was happy with my ride. Saw the leaders going the opposite direction about halfway or at least I think I did, it was mostly a blur followed by a flaming vortex.
What would you do differently?:

Next time I'll try just going downhill. That should improve my time a little.

Comments:

Got in, got out, no problems.

nothing
Run

  • 6.2 miles

Comments:

Decent run but it felt slow probably due to the heat. First four miles were under 6 but I started to fade the last two. The first mile always seems so slow that I haven't really learned to pace myself very well yet.
What would you do differently?:

Go out a little slower.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank water and staggered to my car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Gravity

Event comments:

Good race. On time and organized.

Great run.  If you are near sighted, you can get Speedo goggles in 0.5 increments for $20.00.  They work great for me.
