Not a bad swim, considering I hate swimming and avoid the pool at all costs. Last year 7:47, so a bit slower, but not so bad. Even though I hated waiting 90 minutes to start, I was well seeded. Passed one guy at the wall, was only passed once at end by some guy who was clearly mis-seeded and swam up and down the middle of the lanes passing everyone.

Swim more. Lie more when I seed.

Last year 3:11, so much better T1 this year.

Nothing - best rank of the whole race. :)

Well, let's see. I lost at least 2 minutes after crossing the timing mat from T1 because my chain dropped twice. A course official helped me with it the first time, I got 10 feet away and it dropped again. Put it on myself and headed out on the course. So, this could have been a much better bike. My effort was good.

Last year 41:13 (no drop chain!)

Not drop chain. :)

Last year 1:31

This year, added knee strap...and still was speedy. Well done.

Good run - I felt comfortable but was putting in effort for the whole thing. Used water to keep cool.

Last year, 29:22...so not so far off.

Run a little faster.

Met Judi at finish where she was volunteering & showed her my greasy hands. :)
Got in line for Chipotle.
Met up with Sugar Daddy and the Monkeys.


Dropped chain.
Lack of training mojo.
A few extra pounds here and there.


Setup Events is a class act & I always enjoy their races. This is my 4-5 race on this course and it is good for newbies and others.
