Comments:

Started off great, actually drafted some. Midways drifted too far right, corrected but went a little too far. Luckily not as far as some. Overall not a bad swim for me.

What would you do differently?:

Sight better

Transition 1

01m 28s

Comments:

Little trouble getting the suit off as I had asked someone to zip me up and closed it a little weird

What would you do differently?:

more time practicing getting suit off

Bike

38m 30s
12 miles
18.70 mile/hr

Comments:

Pulled out and we were supposed to turn soon but cop had road blocked and the riders ahead of me went straight. After a ways I realized we were not doing the correct course. Went to turn around and a lady yelled we will just do the course reverse. Followed her but she missed our turn. Garmin had me at 19.7 and I was cooking. Will know better next year.

What would you do differently?:

Not trust the cops to know the course, I should have known better

Transition 2

00m 49s

Comments:

Decent transition for me. Lost 5 seconds as I thought I saw my shoes off to the side and realized they were someone elses. Mine were by my bike where I had put them

What would you do differently?:

Trust my setup

Run

29m 13s
3.11 miles
09m 23s min/mile

Comments:

THis was a BLAST! Running in the muck, mud, water, etc. I evidently have lousy balance in the mud as I got passed by several people while I was trying not to fall. Lousy run time but lots of fun.

Post race

Warm down:

Drank some water and gatorade, got my time, etc. Saw I took 3rd in AG and waited around for the awards but they only gave out awards to first place.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cop directing the wrong way and my inability to run in mud
