I swam beautifully, was the first in my wave around the "turn around" buoy. Clear water, but plenty of current and gusty waves kept it fun.

Comments:

Just fine, but overall too slow

Good pacing despite heavy winds, went without any drinking which I think helps keep my speed up.
Transition 2
  • 01m 5s
Comments:

Again, a little too slow. Next year I'll go sockless with some zoots and cut back a few secs.

1st race with my Garmin 310xt, never used a computer before. My average pace started at 7:15/mi, so I slowed to a correct 8:30/mi and held it to the end. So good pacing, + knowing how far I had gone = no "desperate" feeling and slowing down on the run.

Event comments:

Great race I'll return to next year. Could use a little better organization - the bathrooms at transition were locked until 15min pre-race! But a BEAUTIFUL and fast course (clear beautiful water, smooth open roads, a dedicated paved running path), along with my 1st place, means I'll be back next year.
