started off way right because i believed current was pushing the previous waves left...well that didnt seem to be the case. wasted a lot of time swimming tword 1st bouy. After that I just wasnt feeling a good rythm. swimming tword the beach i just didnt feel like swimming anymore. Kept trying to touch bottom and walk in but couldnt find it. Still was able to do a good trot off the beach into about 150 yard to transition.

swim more.

cant complain....3rd fastest transition in my age group out of 35. Just a long way to run from beach.

coming out of transition after strapping in shoes noticed i was in small chain ring. Went to switch it and threw my chain. DAMN! Lost about a minute. But still a decent time. Very windy. People here were just fast.

2nd fastest transition out of 35. Not too bad

was not feeling this run at all. Legs were supper tight and stiff from windy ride. Just couldnt turn them over fast enough. this race with this run confirmed that I did lose some fitness.

Train more. Take more of a recovery week instead of trying to cram in training last minute

Beer and pool after


beer weeks before the race


Fun, but had some gunners there
