Decent swim for only the third time in the pool in 2010. I think this is my slowest swim time ever at this race but I was expecting to be closer to 14 minutes so I will definitely take this result. Goal was to just swim as strong as possible and get to the bike.

Train :)

Solid T1 except being rerouted for the paramedics. Added some confusion.

Nothing

The bike is where I have been training the most (bike commuting mostly) and I wanted to do a little better. I had trouble settling in on the bike and then my left aerobar pad twisted so I was fighting to keep my left arm on the pad for most of the race. This led to some issues in comfort on the bike. I also had some calf cramping; whether this was due to the aerobar issue or just lack of fitness I have no idea.

Check bolts before race and a bit more time on the tribike.

No issues

Nothing

Just had no speed at all in my legs. I need to run more but based on 1-2 runs per week this is about all I could hope for. I was able to hold off a guy in my wave who was gaining through the first lap but didn't put anytime into athletes that I can usually run down.

Train more.

Got into the shower to warmup.


Training; 2 swims in 2010 and running 1-2x/week does not come close to race shape.


As good a race as I could expect based upon my fitness this season.
