Overall a good swim. I beat my time from last by 4 minutes. I still need to figure out where to place myself in the start. I am not fast enough to be in the front, but I put myself in the back this time and had several intances where I swam up on groups of guys and didn't want to swim around and waste a bunch of energy. Overall a decent swim for me.

Need to figure out where to start. May need to just get in the middle somewhere.

Everything here was ok. I could be a little faster.

This went really well. I rode about has hard as I could. Had to pass a lot of people from the earlier waves and sometimes that made for riding three wide. Had one guy pass me with about 1 mile to go and he was from the last wave but he was riding a disk and aero wheel up front so that is my excuse. I still can't imagine getting my avg into the 23 with the top riders but maybe after another year of riding.

Not much of anything Beat my time last year by two minutes

Good

I had been thinking all week about how to approach this run. My run is always the limiting factor in my races. Kept reminding myself on the bike that when I get to the run to keep a shorter stride with a higher cadence and just run through the dead legs. I felt pretty good coming off the bike, my calfs where a little tight but that went away after about a mile. Didn't worry about fluids other than dumping some water on my head at each table. This was by far the best run I have had in a race. Usually my times come out to be around 9:15/mile or slower. Hopefully, I can carry this type of run or faster on to the next race.

Nothing. Finally a good run/end to a race

Hung around and waited for the awards ceremony, wife relay team won 1st.

The only disappointing thing to the day, I went and compared my time to the clydes division and I would have been 1st by two minutes. Oh well, I am really pleased by my time (beat last years by 10 minutes) and I'll take 11th in age group any day.
