Swim
Transition 1
Comments: Had to remove my wetsuit, so T1 was probably a little longer than it could have been. Of course I've never been fast at transitions. Bike
Comments: Going out was uphill and into a headwind. Coming back wasn't. :) Overall a good bike. Effort level was just right. Transition 2
Run
Comments: This course was absolutely short! Everyone I knew had 5.40 on their Garmin, just like I did. No way I was running sub 9 for that 10K. I know this because when I kept looking at my 0.50 splits on my Garmin I was on pace for a 10mm. Got a side cramp with 2 miles left to run. I just jabbed my finger in it, hunched over and kept my pace. I hadn't seen any pass me in my AG so I thought I might place. I got 4th, which I'm OK with since 3rd was 15 minutes faster than me! Ha! Post race
Event comments: Overall it was a good race. I like the location being close to home an in an urban area. The roads are pretty good which is nice. A bit disappointed the run course was so short. Very odd. My other complaint would be that they didn't have a selection of food for the racers after the race. The only free food was BBQ sandwiches, which is great if you eat meat. I do not. I could have bought something from a vendor, but I didn't bring any money. Who knows, maybe there was food I could have eaten and I missed it because I was standing around cheering for people I knew still racing. Oh well, I'd still do the race again!
