Up at 5am. Ate half a pbh sandwich and made the 10 minute drive to the race site.

10 minute ez run.

Swim

13m 31s
820 yards
01m 39s / 100 yards

Comments:

Okay swim given my lack of swim time lately. Felt like I was drifting left a lot and having to correct. Return leg of the swim was straight in the rising sun, as always, which made sighting next to impossible.

What would you do differently?:

More swim training.

Transition 1

01m 37s

Comments:

Long run to transition. Otherwise, a top 5 transition.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Bike

47m 38s

21.41 mile/hr

Comments:

Not sure where this ride came from! I haven't been riding my tri bike much lately (training on road bike for charity ride) and had only gotten it out of the shop the day before the race(Felt recall). I just tried to keep my power in the 160s and not kill myself on the hills. My NP was 165 so I hit it dead on! I was pleasantly surprised entering transition when I saw my bike time was sub-48min.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Transition 2

01m 13s

Comments:

Did i mention I had a PRIMO bike rack spot right next to the bike entrance/exit. :)

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Run

24m 11s
3.11 miles
07m 47s min/mile

Comments:

PR (tri) 5K. Expected to really pay for the fast bike split but I felt pretty good on the run.

What would you do differently?:

Need to work on 5K speed. Don't train much for 5Ks so it's very ez to fall into HIM pace. Getting closer to 23:xx tho!

Post race

Warm down:

About passed out when I crossed the finish line! Hung out, cooled off and tried to rehydrate.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

As always...run pace.

Event comments:

One of my favorite sprint courses. Well, with the exception of the goose poop of course.
