The water was rough for the Gulf. Several sets of breaking waves to get through. Not a great swim but got it done. It was short so I just pushed through. Better conditions would have been nice. I was #18 in the TT start so able to get an early start.

Had a long run from swim to my spot in transition. Fortunately it put me close to the bike in/out. Went sockles since it was a short race and that always saves a little time.

Nothing really. It was a good time compared to the field

Wanted to push this as hard as possible and leave something for the run. Caught/passed all but 2 other racers. AP248/NP251 IF.93. I had planned on being 95-100% but it just never felt "easy" on the bike so backed off a bit. Should really hammer it in a race this short but I hoped holding back some would pay off in the run.

Nothing, turns out I paced the bike fine based on my run. Still need to be willing to suffer more on the bike and trust my legs that they will be able to run.

Pretty solid. Lost a couple seconds getting into running shoes but rarely does everything go perfectly

Leaving transition I saw there were 2 racers ahead of me. Both had started the swim just ahead of me. I passed one about half mile in and the other with about a half mile to the finish line. Soon after that I was passed by a young guy really moving. He had a higher swim number than me so I knew he would win the overall. Continued to push hard since you never know where folks are overall with the TT start. Really pleased with my run. Pace was about what my stand alone 5k pace is.

Nothing. This was a good run for me and I had nothing left at the finish.

Visited with friends and teammates. Enjoyed the post race festivities.


Good effort. Was unsure how I would do given some waning motivation over the previous 2 weeks. Approx. 3.5 minutes better than previous year and swim was much rougher this year.


Solid race for me. Getting late in the season and I had felt flat over the last 2 weeks so decided to do the super sprint rather than the olympic. Lots of the top local guys raced the olympic and that helped my overall placing in this race . Always fun to do a short one and see whats in the tank. It was another hot day and I was glad I stuck to the shorter distance.
Team Magic always does a great job.
