I felt really good on this and was pretty surprised how slow my time was. Turns out everyones time was slow. Time included a really long transition run.

This was good for me.

Comments:

This course was longer than advertised. Both my garmin and my bike computer had me at 22.4 mph. Felt like I had a really nice ride. Being in the 25th wave really sucks and I basically spent the whole ride passing people. Still very fun ride.
Transition 2
  • 01m 27s
Run
  • 26m 48s
  • 3.1 miles

Comments:

Another poorly measured course. Garmin had it at 3.21. Not a big deal, but when your slow you want the credit for what you did.

Event comments:

This was a good race for me. I finished one spot off the podium but that's ok. It was great seeing Aly out there doing so well.

Nice race!  I really don't understand why "they" can't measure a course correctly.  Word on the street is that the sprint was long and the half was short.  Congrats to Aly!  That's a speedy kid you've got there.  Good to see you again.

Congratulations on the near podium finish! And I may have been one of those guys in your way on the bike - wish I could hold that kind of speed for any distance. And so cool that the family was involved.
