Got stuck behind another swimmer at 150m, I thought I might catch him b/c he started really hard and fast and didn't look like he could hold the pace. Once past him, the hardest part was changing lanes. Im not the best at flip turns and this wasnt the time to practice them.

Work on flip turns while going under the lane divider...seems like a waste of a workout though b/c it doesnt come easy for me.

Got helmet on and bike unracked fairly easily...off to the bike

Run faster into transition

I lost about a minute on the bike. Last week I flatted 3 times so I was convinced that I had flatted again today so I stopped. The rear tire was a bit low, but not flat. Just the road and my mind playing games with me. Once back on the bike it took me awhile to get back up to speed b/c I was watching the rear tire to see if it was holding. Finally, I just decided to go for it focus on racing.

Stop worrying about getting a flat and just race.

When racking the bike, I hit someone elses bike and had to catch it before it fell. Took a few seconds extra but every bit counts

Some random dude was in the transition area standing next to the bike I almost knocked over...where was security and who was he?

Last year I ran a 7:03 pace, this year I managed a 5:55 pace. I started running hills last month and it's made all the difference. The pace was comfortable and I wish I had pushed harder b/c it felt like I was running a 7:15ish pace.

Open my stride up earlier, the run was easier at that point.

Walk around and sip Gatorade. Stretched a little, should have done more


Thinking I had a flat tire and not being able to flip turn under lane dividers


Setup Events started their season off very well. The race was organized and I wish them a successful year.

My only concern was mystery man in T2, he wasn't dressed to race and shouldn't have been there.
