Swim
Comments: The swim was good. I'm getting better and better at swimming in a tri. The run after winded me a bit, but overall it was a good swim. I liked catching up to some people in the "elite wave" ahead of me. What would you do differently?: Push a bit harder on the swim. My times in my masters class indicates that I'm a bit faster than this. Transition 1
Comments: Nice and smooth. I slowed down for a couple of seconds to make sure my HR was not too high starting out on the bike. What would you do differently?: Not much really. Gotta go fast if you want to place in this race. Bike
Comments: Pretty good bike. There was a bit of headwind on the way back, but I did what I could to soldier through it. What would you do differently?: I feel like I could have pushed a bit harder, but I'm still getting the run off the bike fine tuned. Transition 2
Comments: This was probably my best T2 yet. Finally learning how to hustle here. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Pretty satisfied here. Run
Comments: I held what I felt was a good, solid pace on the run. I was by myself for most of the run, so I didn't feel the urgency to push really hard. What would you do differently?: Learn how to go as hard as I can, regardless of my position in the race. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: I think for future Dragonfly races I'll sign up for the elite wave. In the age group wave I ended up in an odd spot where no one was around me. If I had started with the elite wave, it looks like I would have been in the thick of some quick guys that could have pushed me a bit more. Despite all this, I feel like I had a great race.

Had breakfast at my mom's. It's nice having races near my mom's place, so I can actually get a decent breakfast.
I got to the race a bit later than I would have liked this time, so all I got to do was swim.
