This was a great swim for me. I knew I was smokin' but my watch wasn't set right. I had no idea of my actual time until splits came up and was pleasantly surprised. I had to breathe every other stroke but my rhythm was good. I feel very very good about my swim performance. 3 minutes faster than last year!

Not much. I'd like to be able to breathe every third stroke and swim straighter but overall I'm very happy.

Stumbled a little gettin on the bike but was still able to mount it quickly. Watch not set right so I don't know what actual T1 time was. I decided not to bother with gloves, I think this was a good decision.

Dry both feet. I forgot one and had trouble getting one sock on.

Bike computer says average pace was 19.2. Total time includes T1 and T2. I worked hard on the bike but only dropped 1 minute off last year. Performance was good.

Traim more on the bike. Specific muscles could stand to be stronger.

Dropped bike trying to make hard left in transition. Good thing it's so light, I just picked it up before it hit the ground!

Not drop my bike

Quads cramped terribly on both legs at the same time. Also had trouble with cramping in arch of foot. Hated the run the whole way but my time was 2.5 minutes faster than last year. HRM says distance was 3.14 miles and ave pace was 8:50, I like that better. Got passed at the very end.

I'll change one water bottle on the bike to an electrolyte replacement.

Primarily leg cramps.


I took 6 minutes off my overall time!!! Finished 5th in my age group and 27th overall in a field of 305. Won my first plaque. Not bad for only one year under my belt.
