Overall not bad, but my sighting was off due to the glare from the sun. It was fine going out but bad coming back. Sleeveless wetsuit worked out just fine.

Need to invest in some good tinted non-glare goggles.

Didnt' feel fast but happy to see my transition was faster than many. Forgot to get gelpacks. I normally take one in the middle of the bike.

Remember the gelpack.

Very good time for me. Today's conditions were fast. Little wind and a flat course. I have made a deal with myself that if I can race around 21 mph this year, I get a new Felt B16 at the end of the season.

Nothing. Good time.

Good transition. I usually do well on T2. this time felt OK.

Took me a mile and a half to find my groove. I think not having the gelpacks on the bike hurt me a bit, at least mentally. 2nd half of the run was good, though. I was able to get my overall pace down to around 8 with a good final mile.

I should be able to do this in at least the mid-7's. Work on my running.

I was spent. I pushed it hard on the bike and on the run. A sprint is as hard as you make it, and I really felt this one.


Poor planning of in-race nutrition. Also need to find good goggles or OWS. Any recommendations?


Very nice race. I've grown to like Randy Races. No frills, but nice courses. Long Lake Park was a pleasant surprise -- I don't spend much time up in this part of town. The bike course wasn't particularly pretty (unlike, say, Square Lake) but was very fast. Fun to do a nice, fast course once in a while. I will do this race again instead of Buffalo. Way less crowded and more laid back.
