Swim
Comments: I haven't done a lot of swimming this year, so just wanted to take it very easy and not get too tired. Aimed for an even 40 lengths but managed 36. Transition 1
Comments: Athletes ran from the pool around a roped off area to where the bikes were set up off to the side. I got stuck behind two people from my wave walking side by side down the narrow lane, but since it's a casual event I didn't want to be a douche and push past them, so it felt pretty slow. Bike time includes t1. Bike
Comments: After I started pedaling, the race-provided bike computer didn't start for what I would guess was a minute and a half. The race director came by and played with it, and offered to recalculate later based on my average speed but I never went back to find him after the race. Just entered my official recorded time above, and the actual time wouldn't have been too much faster anyway. Again, I just wanted to put in a solid effort and still be able to have a decent run. Transition 2
Comments: Fairly fast transition outside to the run. T2 time included in run time. Run
Comments: This is obviously slow for anyone else, but I was really pleased. I was able to get around the lake without stopping, which was my main goal, and one which I wasn't sure I would manage. Really happy that my running is starting to improve again, after a terrible year last year. Post race

Got up late, shook off a slight hangover and went down to pick up my race packet. So nice to be able to race in the afternoon! This was my first race since 2009, so I just wanted to get through it with a decent effort.
