Felt strong on this swim without killing myself. No issues. Was happy to have gone with the sleeveless wetsuit and tinted goggles.

Uneventful. LC was coming into the TA as I was leaving so it was just a matter of time before she caught me.

I was unfamiliar with the course so I took each ride easier than usual and didn't race them as I was wanting to survive the weekend. Had some rollers before turning left onto Thompson Hill Road (saw Slake and Baldwin there dealing with Baldwin's broken chain). Was a tough climb, but managed to get up without walking or falling over. Rest of the course was uneventful. There were some rollers, but also some really steep descents. Had a final climb on Rt. 125 before enjoying a 3 mile net downhill to finish the ride.

Nutrition was good with eating Honey Stinger Waffles and drinking Roctane during the ride.

Wore my Newton trail shoes given that nearly all of the run was on trail/gravel so I took the few extra seconds to tie them as they don't have speed laces.

Nothing.

I decided it was best to run the flatish sections and anything that was downhill and walk the uphills. I am a pretty good race speed walker so I knew I wouldn't be too slow vs. running up the hills. There were some descent climbs on this run course and it would have been tough for me to run the entire thing. Was nice to see the teammates out there coming back to finish the run. Saw LC about .5 miles in front of me (based on the turn around), but knew I wouldn't have been able to catch her as we had similar strategies. She waited for me before making the final turn with about 1/4 mile left so we could finish together.

Packed up our stuff and road up the hill to the cabin to rinse off, eat and lay down.
