Still not fast but I paced it well. Timed my passes so that I didn't get held up. Swam relaxed and felt great coming out of the water for a change. Helped on the bike tremendously.

Keep practicing more.

Not a whole lot to say except for that I'm going to try going sockless in sprints. The time to get the socks on costs too much time in such a short race.

Go sockless!

Had a really good ride for the first time. Since I managed my pace in the water I was able to go out on the bike with no limitation of my pacing. Felt slow a few times on some of the longer uphill grades. Almost lost my saddle with about 2 miles left! Scary and stupid! Overall felt really good for the relatively low mileage I've been able to get in this summer.

Double check bolt tightness and ride more miles in training!

Nothing to say really. I could have been faster.

Go faster.

Couldn't quite get into a good running zone today. The heat was tough and breathing was labored. My calf had been feeling funny this week and I could tell that it wasn't happy coming off the bike. It never really loosened up during the run. I dumped water on myself at the water stops to help cool off some. I was hoping for a 23 minute 5k since I pretty confident in my ability to push that pace in a sprint but it wasn't happening today.

Nothing much to do. Keep plugging away during the week to keep the mileage high.

Walk around, drink warm water (wish I found found the cold stuff earlier!), talk to people.


Training volume. There's always more room for more training.


Great local race put on by the people in the triathlon scene around here. Fun early season event to knock the cobwebs loose.
