Met Bob for a quick run, which was nice...it seemed to help.

Comments:

I sighted less since it was a simple course, but I did follow someone off course for a little while until I corrected and came back. The lake is shallow and I'm afraid of fish, which is why I stuck with the swim leaders.
What would you do differently?:

Great swim for me overall.

Comments:

This is actually a great bike time for me. My pre-race fix of my bike computer failed, so I didn't have MPH or distance information, but the two lap course helped me out on this. There were a few hills, but the first one on the course was fine in low gear with high cadence, and the second one is right after a nice downhill. I just left my bike in a high gear and stood for the second climb, which worked out.
What would you do differently?:

I worried that I left too much on the bike, but since it was so short, I think this was a good level of intensity. My run was great, so I think this was a great distance and a great time.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Run
  • 33m 13s
  • 3.2 miles
  • 10m 23s  min/mile
Comments:

Great 5K time for me...my best ever is only 29 minutes, so a 33 on a hilly triathlon course is fantastic. Apparently everyone else there was a much better runner...oh well.
What would you do differently?:

I need to increase my speed on a 5K, but I think the pace that I kept during this race was about as good as I was able to do. I definitely almost felt sick when I sprinted to the finish.
Post race
Warm down:

Milled around, changed clothes, got a race shirt!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

General fitness, which is good - I can only improve that.
