This is what happens when you take 6 months off swimming to recover from a shoulder injury. At least I know what I need to work on.

Get more swimming in. Need to swim futher in before standing up in the water.

There was quite a long path from the swim to the transition stage, so that's where a majority of this time is from. I thought I got in and out of there pretty quick.

Had a fantastic ride! Passed a ton of people on the hills. Things were just clicking for me on the bike.

Maybe push it a little harder even.

Felt good about this transition. Went very smoothly except that I forgot my water bottle. It was ok though, because there were plenty of water stops.

Make sure I bring my GPS so I know my pace and whether I need to push it more.

Took about a mile to get my legs into running shape. Felt like I was shuffling most of the way, so was really suprised at my time. Wanted to be under 30 minutes, so was pretty happy about that.

Need to get more miles in. Been slacking!

Got our stuff out of the transition area (except for the bike, they wouldn't let us take them for another hour). Walked to the car and got some water. Jumped back in the lake to cool off a bit and unwind. Ate pizza, walked around a bit until we could get our bikes.


Slacking in the running department lately. Too much bike, not enough running or swimming. Biking paid off though lol


The only complaint I could come up with was that they didn't have mile markers on the bike or the run. If they did, I didn't see them. I think I saw a #2 painted on the pavement of the run course, but wasn't sure if that was our mile 2 or an old one from some other run. Then again, had I remembered my GPS watch, I wouldn't have had to rely on them to put those out for us.
