Swim
Comments: Well technically it's a 320 yard swim since you end up on the other end of the pool. ;P I was seeded as number 2 swimmer with my est time of 3:30. I caught the #1 guy before half way into the swim... I wasn't even swimming all that hard! I just kept it at a steady pace, stayed comfortable. I can't see a real reason to push a 300yd swim, just not worth it. However, since I caught the #1 guy and #3 also didn't seed him self correctly, it made it look like I had a really good swim. So after the race I kept getting, Good swim man! You killed it! I'm sitting there thinking, uh not really! :) Transition 1
Comments: Finally a transition this year that I didn't screw up! Bout time! geez... What would you do differently?: nada Bike
Comments: My friend Kevin and my main competition in the race was #4 swimmer, so 20s behind me. I thought he may catch up on the swim a bit and come out of t1 close to me and we could play(this was the plan, but he was supposed to be right behind me). However I took a look back at mile 2 and he was further back than I expected. I didn't want to give up the gap, so I just hammered it the best I could out front by my self. Ended up working pretty well. No computer on my bike, but by gears I was probably doing 24-25 into the wind and 27-28 with. Felt good. Transition 2
Comments: missed the split, got included into the run split. Something like 40s? Messed up with my shoe and had to take it off and put it back on. Run
Comments: Got a side stitch pretty quickly into the run, ran through it the first mile with a 5:33 mile. After that it was getting worse and I had to slow to shake it out.. 2nd mile was around 6:20 but then I was able to pick it back up again once the stitch was gone. So not a great run, but I also had a decent lead at this point and extended it a bit more. Ended up beating Kevin by just over a minute. What would you do differently?: Drink less on the bike so I don't have to slow 40s in the 2nd mile to get rid of a side stitch.. Post race

Woke up too early, 30 minutes before my alarm, and since the race is only 30 minutes away from my house... I wasn't really rushed in the morning. Ended up being one of the first racers there as I didn't want to just sit at the house.
got in a 2 mile warm up run and a 500-600 swim. Calf was bugging me for whatever reason and I couldn't loosen it up.
