![]() Swim
Comments: I neatly avoided the craziness of the start by staying a bit off to the left and in the back. As I got going, I had no problems navigating around the folks in front of me, and eventually ended up next to another lady, and we swam side-by-side, stroke-for-stroke nearly the entire way. It was pretty cool. I had a weird moment when my brain decided I was approach the buoy from a totally different angle/perspective than I was, and I ended up completely confused, thinking I was way off course. Not sure why that was. It's never happened before. Then, at end, calves were crampy and I had to do breast stroke. While that may have cost me a minute, I ended up swimming 4 minutes faster than last year (and people still said the course was long). What would you do differently?: Keep my head on straight. Not cramp so I can maintain freestyle to the end. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Transitions this year have been a bit slow as I deal with adding Garmin stuff (for HR) to my routine (have to turn it on...) What would you do differently?: Be more organized and smooth. ![]() Bike
Comments: Bleah. My biking of late has been off and sluggish. Not sure why as swimming and running are okay. This was significantly slower than I wanted. But heart rate was fine and even a bit too low. What would you do differently?: Just go faster. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Again, too much fiddling with the Garmin. ![]() Run
Comments: Well, at least I've got running. Very happy as this is the fastest 10k in a tri I've ever run. ![]() Post race

One of the few races that is within easy driving distance the morning of. So, up early with coffee and breakfast.
Got in the water for a few minutes. I was running late in getting set up in transition, so did not get as much swimming as I wanted and no running.
