Very disappointed by this time! By far my worst event of the three. Kept looking up to make sure I was going in the right direction - that definitely slowed me down. Definitely need to work on my swim technique in the off season.

Need to do more open water swims.

I got stuck in some groups where I was having difficulty passing because I would have had to have passed about 5 people at once - they were all going the same speed. Eventually able to pass though. At the end two people started walking their bikes right in front of me when I was trying to run with mine. I couldn't get by and didn't want to be rude and yell at them to move. But at least I made my goal of under 1 hour (just berely)!

Moving kind of slowly for this transition, I kept thinking I was missing something (I was, I left my visor at home) so it took me a couple seconds to realize that.

Not forget my visor!

I don't think I've ever run a 5K that fast! All my recent run training has paid off - I was really happy with this result! I'm used to running all hills so this seemed really easy.

Drank water and ate half a sandwich


My swim! I don't think I need to check to make sure I'm going in the right direction quite as much as I did.


Great way to end the season! Will definitely do this race again next year!
