swimming continues to plague me...had to walk on the bottom for a bit to catch my breath

more training!!! breathing training, stroke efficiency

couldn't get my feet in the shoes due to the insole sliding around. Need to secure insoles into shoes better, and have dry feet.

Had a good ride. Strong on the hills. Funny thing, I had a buddy in my age group riding a Scattante. As I was powering up a hill on Weston, I passed a guy on a Scattante, and just assumed it was him. Even gave him a little "Lance wave". I felt all smug that I had passed him (he's a super swimmer and runner, and we're about even on the bike). Well, turns out, it wasn't him. My buddy did a 1:17 to my 1:32 overall, so I was always behind him. Oh well, at least it was a little incentive. Thay Scattante guy never passed me back!

Push harder on the bike. I said before the race I wanted a 20.5 average. I could've done it, but hesitated. I was a bit slow out of T1 getting up to speed on Aviation. Once I got up the first hill to Evans, I was ready to rock and roll though!

Not sure why I was so slow here. I ran from dismount to rack, and from rack to run start.

At White Lake, I had speed laces. Here, I had to tie doubleknots due to no speedlaces on my new shoes. That could shave 30 seconds off easy.

CRAMPING before first mile was over. Once I got through that, I felt pretty good on the run.

Something in nutrition wasn't right. I was dehydrated due to "intestinal issues" earlier in the day.

none


cramps (hydration and stretching)
