Pretty good swim overall. Got a way better start than last year and only got held up in traffic 2-3 times. Was able to groove a bit and felt good. Rounding the first bouy was slow as I got stuck in a group.

Train more and start a tad earlier.

I'm improving here, but still a bit slow.

Just sit on the ground right away to get my shoes on.

OK bike leg. I would have liked to been a bit faster as I hit over 21 last year, but the wind contributed to slowing me down. At least the handfull of guys that passed me were on high-zoot aero bikes with zipps and disks.

Just keep riding.

Did fairly well here. Again a little fumble with the shoes but not too bad. Didn;t forget anything and got out ok. Transition area is very large.

Practice a bit more.

My biggest improvement by far. This was my fastest 5k ever in competition and that includes stand alone 5k runs. It was great to have my training really pay off here because I have been working really hard on my run.

Keep up with my training and focus!

Walked around, Had some orange slices and a couple cookies. Hung out with my family.


Just training. I'm very pleased with my progress though. I took over 6 minutes off my time from last year.


A very good overall event. Well planned and executed. All went right on time. Pleant of volunteers and police at every corner to keep everyone safe. For its size, it was very very well run. I would recommend for anyone looking for a large fun sprint event.
