Pretty happy with the swim, over minute quicker than last year so that is good heading into tri season.
What would you do differently?:

swim, swim and swim. just need to get in the pool alot more.

Comments:

Pretty slow due to the weather. Had to put on extra shirt and socks. Also my bike shoe came off as i was hoping on my bike, as well as my garmin, so that set me back a few seconds.

Comments:

using my dads timing as it looks better, and adds up appropriately. Happy with how it went considering the conditions. Should be a lot faster,but im defintely in better bike shape now than pretty much any point last year.
What would you do differently?:

Just gotta get much more hours in the saddle. Interval work would also be good for these shorter races.

Comments:

Pretty quick transition. Not much room from dismount to the bike rack so i was able to get through this pretty quickly.

Pretty happy with this especially because last year i just barely broke 20 in this race... lol

but yea Anything under 18 i would have been happy with today, so pretty stoked!

and wow, that was wierd starting the run, feet were completely numb!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really, maybe push the pace a little more but on a day like this not much could be done better.

Warm down:

just chill in pool area and eat some banana and pancakes. then destroyed a baconator on the way home LOL

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the weather. Pool and run were pretty good, but it was a real tough ride out there today.
