Comments:

They changes the course due to vegetation in lake and it may have been a little long but I was happy with the swim overall. My swim training has not been great and my goal was to just keep a good pace. The M-Z wave I was in seemed to have some solid swimmers so I was able to draft for a while which was a nice change. The turn towards shore was a mess as there was a green bouy that no one was using.

It is a fun 3 loop course and I knew it was going to get a little crowded but I continued to push it pretty hard and I am very happy with the avg here.
What would you do differently?:

Just need to get out and ride more.
Transition 2
  • 02m 3s
Comments:

Not too happy with this time as I was 27th in the AG. I spent a little extra time putting on socks as I knew I would need it on the run.
What would you do differently?:

Not wear socks but I prefer to wear them at this distance.
Run
  • 42m 53s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 06m 55s  min/mile
Comments:

I was happy that I kept a solid pace throughout. There is no doubt that I did not leave much out there as the last mile or so was rough. After looking at the results, I guess I was pretty consistent throughout which I am very happy with. I think I had the 27th fastest splits on all 3 overall which is very odd.

Warm down:

Post race massage was great and followed that up with a Red Hook IPA.
