I felt good about this swim, it is the best swim I have had in a triathlon yet. I drafted for the first time, I didn't stop once during the swim except to quickly reset once or twice.

Nothing really.

Good transition, I think it could have been faster though.

Not dottle so much...

I wanted to be 9 minutes faster on this part, but I feel I attacked this as hard as I could. It took me a few minutes to recover from the swim, and the hills start right away. Great cheering section on the sidelines.

More hill repeats in training, and also more swim/bike bricks in training.

This transition went well.

Nothing

This run started out tough for me. I had a pretty bad cramp in my side. My legs felt OK, my feet were cramping some too. After about 2 miles, I found my stride, the cramps subsided, and things went better. By mile 4 I was feeling good. I ran the last two miles like I wanted to run the whole race. Finished strong. But, I am pleased with my time and pace. Great crowd support.

More bike/run bricks in training, more hill repeats and interval training. I wouldn't change anything on the actual run.

Drank beer and walked around.


I think if I did more interval training on the bike and run I would have been faster.


I love this race and will do it again next year. It is challenging, well organized, and fun. Free beer at the end is cool. I love the deep water start for the swim, and the bike and run are good and challenging. There is really good crowd support for this race. Like the dog tag finishing medal.
