Really not a bad swim for me, times are slow but that is just me and swimming. I have put in the time this year swimming and starting to see a small improvement. I will need to get more proficient before B2B.

Maybe go a little harder during the first few hundred yards. I seemed to be content to just settle in today.

Was able to get it and find my bike pretty easy. With no wetsuit to take off I was in and out pretty quick. Rolled up to the mount line and passed two individuals that we mounting ride on the line. 7th overall in transition.

Maybe some time to gain to do a running mount, just don't know if I will feel comfortable with the behind the seat bottle cages I have.

Probably could have pushed a little harder, not much though

Pushed a little harder on the bike

Took a little extra time here, maybe 3 seconds as wife and kids were trying to get my attention. 26th overall

Not much, gonna speak to my wife and kids.

Came out of T2 a little hot on the run at 6 min 50 sec miles. Slowed it down to about 7 min and 15 seconds for first mile and then got into the groove at about 7 min and 50 seconds for the remainder. Course was actually bout 2 tenths shorter than advertised according to my garmin. Pretty much what I was willing to do today, could have pushed harder but training this week would have suffered and just was not willing to do it.

Not much maybe not put so much powder in my shoes. As soon as I started the run I felt what I thought was a glob of powder that had gotten wet and wedged under my second toe on my right foot. Became very uncomfortable and thought about stopping and removing it but it became a little better around mile 2 by wiggling my toes. After the run I immediately sat down to remove my shoe and found nothing, still not sure what that was all about.

Walked around, gathered items, chatted with some friends and family. Stuck around for awards.


Swimming, everything else was fairly good. Did not come in first in any of the three disciplines but transitions keep pulling me through. I chose not to wear the wetsuit and probably left 90 seconds on the swim, but would have lost another 15 in transition.


I was very skeptical about this race and whether or not it was going to happen. Having a production company out of Colorado putting on a smaller race in SE NC was I thought going to be challenge. I must give kudos to Without Limits Productions as they made it happen today. Great job!
