Swim was pretty good, but the number of people made the water pretty choppy. That kind of took me out of my normal relaxed swimming rhythm, which I didn't really get back into until there was about 100 m remaining.

The full lanes made it an awesome way to do the pool swim. Much better than swimming back and forth in the same lane.

Try to lengthen out and relax.

Cold day, so spent more time putting on clothes - tights and a long sleeved shirt (and body glide). Probably could have gone without the tights . . .

Skip the tights. Didn't wind up getting cold anyway.

Glutes were tight and sore. Didn't realize that until I got on the bike. Overcompensated with the quads and hams. Got out of the big chain ring for the second loop and felt better. Really didn't notice any soreness prior to the race.

Stretch more? Ride a bit as part of my warm up?

Not a bad transition for me.

Felt good starting out. About a mile into it, got tired & legs felt sore. Was just working out of that at the end of the run.

I don't know. Have a better bike so the legs wouldn't be so tired? Not real sure what happened here, but was kind of disappointed in the run. Had done a brick a week ahead of time with a longer bike and a longer run that averaged better times on both of them.

walk, stretch really good.


Tired legs mostly. Not sure why. Was still active during the week, but nothing too long or tiring. Really felt good Friday evening so was kind of surprised that I felt not so good on Saturday.


Good, well organized race. Light on the post race events, but it was 50 degrees and the wind was blowing like crazy, so no one wanted to hang around anyway.
