Had a good swim overall. Stayed on course perfectly. No problems sighting or breating. The water was a little choppy but it only hit from the side on the short turn of the rectangle course.

Nothing

Had a fairly good transition. Shaved nearly 2 minutes off my last time. Had a small issue getting the wetsuit off my feet, but once I got that squared away I moved pretty good.

Have my own wetsuit with slightly wider leg openings. I was in a rental.

I was really hammering on the way out and passing people like crazy. Then once I turned around I found out why I was making such good time. The wind did not feel that strong but once heading into it, it was really heavy. Had to gear down and just mash. I was still passing a ton of people. I only got passed by one guy the whole time. He was on a high end bike with a disk wheel so I didnt feel too bad.

Not much I could do different. Did pretty well for riding my 30 year old 10 speed.

Had a good T2 overall. Improved here as well. Forgot to take my helmet off and started out before I realized it. Didn't get too far from my spot though and got out in ok time.

Remember there is something on my head :)

I was a bit slow on the run. My feet felt good, and my legs felt good, just didn't have the speed. It was very hot on the course. The blacktop path radiated heat and it felt about 5-10 degrees hotter than the temperature of the air. The wind was in my face on the way out which helped keep me cool but on the way back it felt hotter.

Keep training!

Walked. Had water. Stayed in shade.


Just my overall fitness level I guess. I'm happy with my overall, and taking 1st was awesome! I was glad to improve my transitions. Need to keep working on my run.


A good overall operation. Well run. Good helpers. Nice area and a nice course. Good sub sandwiches after the race. I would recommend it to anyone interested.
