This includes the uphill run to the transition area over gravel and sticks. I was actually out of the water in 12 and some change which is still slow. I think the course might have been a little long.

Swim more. I have been to the pool exactly twice in the last month.

We had to run out of T1 and down another little hill before the mount line. Still took too long here though.

I need to get used to riding and running without socks. I just like wearing socks though.

Hammered on the bike. My average was pulled down by the hill at the beginning and the one comming out of the turn around. My tri bike climbs like a pig! I felt good with this ride though. The time included a run out of and back into the transition area of about 100yards.

Ride more. That training stuff (or lack of it) is starting to catch up with me.

In and out...this was a good T2

Nothing

I had an ok run. Was shooting for something around the 20 minute range. It was so humid on the run it was hard to breathe in a couple of areas.

Train (sounds familiar right?). I have got to hit the track and get my run down to the 18 minute mark to be competative in my age group at these bigger races. There are just too many fast guys out there.

Drank some water and chatted with friends that had already finished (sorry fast bastards!!!!) and cheered on my other friends as the finished.


Lack of training. If you look at my logs you can see how my training can be described as sporadic as best. For doing a race this competative on basically residual training I am pretty happy. It just shows me that to play with the big boys I have to work harder.


BlueSky sports puts on the best race series around. I really enjoy doing their races. You know that they are always going to be exactly as advertised.
