Fellow competitor inadvertently ripped the watch off my wrist in the first 100 meters of the swim and that gave me a brief pause. Ultimately kept going and may not wear a watch for future races as it was somewhat liberating to go on feel and not have something to check up on for pace, time, etc. Maintained freestyle for the whole swim and took it fairly easy.

Need to continue to work on swimming and feel comfortable upping the pace in a race.

Much better for me than usual ... my transition was about where I placed and it is usually lower.

N/A

Kept up a fairly high cadence and didn't push too hard. Passed a bunch of people early and then settled in trading places with a few other people.

Try pushing it hard in the future to see if run will stand up after hard ride.

Uneventful.

Put it in cruise at the beginning and then slowly got into gear. Passed a handful of people and felt good the whole run.

Ate some burgers, had some gatorade, and talked over the race with some friends.


Like the venue and as always FS put on a good show.
