Felt the best I've ever felt in a race on the swim. My sighting and navigation was weak. I feel like I navigated well on the way out, but then had difficulty when there were bouys on each side. I didn't swim a straight line on the way back - more of a zig-zag.

Try to sight better on the way in, but overall I started well and stayed relaxed.

Put on helmet and sunglasses, and then I almost left transition with my wetsuit on. Other than that it went pretty well. Getting on the bike was the best I've done. Running start - had problems getting into the right shoe, but left went on quickly and I was off....

Just need to do it more. Not enough of a routine yet. Practice.

I was doing very well. I was surprised to see I averaged over 18.5 mph even after falling.

I was taking it easy and monitoring my heart rate. Pacing was really good.

Not fall. maybe understand the course better to know when the turns would be coming.

After falling and having a damaged bike, I didn't even try to ride on top of shoes. Clipped out and walked into transition. Slid off shoes, slid on running shoes and went. Felt really good at that point

Nothing, considering that I needed to clip out.

Felt rally good. I could have run harder but I didn't want to get exhausetd because of the Ellington tri on Sunday.

Run harder. I was taking it easy.

Not much. The finish line was a zoo. I found some first aid. Wiped down the scrapes with alcohol wipes and got a couple of bandages.

Ate some oranges, drank water, then went back to the racks and moved my stuff to the car. Went back and got a hamburger (bad) and drank alot of water. Decided to leave before the awards started because it was getting late and I had a long ride.


Wet roads. I also was holding back because of the Ellington tri on Sunday. I didn't want to push too hard.


Probably the best paced race I've ever run. I wish I hadn't fallen, because I lost some time on the bike.

Also, I think this is the best I've ever felt running a race. I wasn't fatigued at all and felt like I has a lot of energy throughout.

I did take it easy because of the sprint Tri on Sunday, but I definitely learned alot about pacing. I really could have run alot harder.

Also screwed up the Garmin measurement. With the rain and the confusion at the start, I didn't set it up correctly for multisport. I also forgot to hit the button at the finish again.

Lesson: Stay relaxed on the swim, push on the bike, but not to exhaustion, and then spend what's left on the run. In previous races I started out too quickly on the swim, went out of control on the bike, and then had absolutely nothing left on the run. This race was much more comfortable, and my finish was not much lower than I've seen in the past

Nice race. Lots of people. Like the way they announced your name at the finish.
