I missed my estimated time by 1 second. Thought my swim went real well considering it is my weakest event. Only problem towards the end was drifting to the middle and had one or two close calls with other swimmers.

Need to build some more stamina in the pool, also work on snaking through the lanes

Had to dig through my bag to find my shoes and gloves but for the most part was quick. I usually dont ride with socks so i had to take extra time to get those on. Hard part was getting my long sleeve jersey on in the wet cold weather.

have it not rain.

bike course had standing water all over but managed to navigate okay. The rollers were definetely taxing on the legs, but the final 6 miles all being straight was nice to lay the hammer on.

more hill work on the bike

this transition was much better than the first. popped off the gloves, helmet, shoes with no problem. Feet were frozen so i didnt tighten my speed laces because i thiought they were already tight.

take the time to tighten my laces.

nice run course. ran a decent time with what i had projected. Another guy and myself pushed the last 1/2 mi hard to catch some people infront of us.

pick up the pace from the beginning instead of at the end

get dry clothes on, have a little to eat, and do some light stretching.


weather, and early season condition
