Hated the course. The triangular course made it very easy to sight off of the wrong bouys, which I did in the first bit of the course. Probably cost me 10 seconds or so. Water was shallow and dirty.

Other than that the swim went fine. Average performance - could have done better. Overall a bit disappointed in the swim.

Oh, the swim was way short. No way I'm swimming 1:08s. I figure it was right on 500yds.

Sight properly.

16/75

So not too bad at all. I can improve, but good T1.

I was aiming for 23mph and got it, so have to be happy there. The course is relatively flat. I put on my 11-23 for this race and I think I dropped down into the small ring twice. My mount sucked, as did my dismount. Gotta get better at that.

I averaged 24mph+ on the first half. For some reason my HR and speed dropped off in the third quarter of the ride. Not sure if it was mental or physical, but I struggled through that part of the course. I managed to speed up to 23mph for the last quarter - which was excellent considering the last two miles were back over the bridge, which was exposed and we were fighting a good wind there (held 22mph over the bridge, which was excellent!).

I forgot to calibrate the powermeter, so my numbers are hosed there. Given my speed I probably averaged 225w or so.

Figure out what happened in the third quarter there and keep the speed up. A 24mph average was in the cards.

My calculated time, since they hosed the T2 times. Maybe a bit slower than last year and average for this group. Need to go faster here.

I guess I'm pretty happy with this. This is the first time I have dipped under 8min/miles in a tri, but I certainly gave a lot of time back to the field here. Started off with a 7:30 mile, which then went down to 7:57 and 7:50. HR was consistent at 171 or so (so I didn't have a whole lot more to give).

Just drank a bunch of water.


Run performance, as usual.
