Horrible swim. First 150-200 meters felt good then I just couldn't get the breathing rhythm back. Swam the rest with a combo of back stroke breast stroke side stroke and freestyle. I classified my swim as bad which is bad for me. I know I can swim faster and better than this pace just didn't perform today.

Not sure what happened had a real good warm up. Need to swim more open water. And will be signing up with a masters group in the city this fall winter.

Felt good got goggles,cap and ear plugs off and stashed in wetsuit arm. Suit came off really good. Socks and shoes went on good. Still do not have tri shoes so I put on the shoes in T1 and run with them on. Had a little issue clipping in nothing to big.

Put shoes and socks on first because when I bent down to put shoes on with helmet and glasses already on water got on my glasses. Little thing but it did take a awhile for them to dry.

Took 1-2 km to get into the ride but once I got going it felt great. Passed a lot of people even a couple of tri bikes passed with my roadie which is always more fun.

Swim faster ha ha not much on the bike went hard hr was up in the 165 zone for a lot of the ride so I went pretty hard

Great T2. The length from bike off to rack was a bit of a distance but everything went really well

Glasses came off for some reason. So keep glasses on next time

I hunk I ate to much in the morning or the yogurt didn't sit well. As I had bad craps first 1km. Walked for about 30 seconds and it worked out the cramps. Rest of run was good. I feel I still left some on the table but not much I think I can still shave a minute or so off my time.

Leave it all on the race course

Walked around took pictures with the kids. Drank fluids and had some oranges.


The nemesis aka the swim


Raced 3 local races this year. This one by far is the best organized of them all. Results and priizes given out in a timely manner. Lots of volunteers that had identifiable shirts on.
