My swim went terrific. Other than being hit more than I've ever been hit on the legs/ankles and stuff. But that only deterred me once.

  • 02m 21s
Comments:

I forgot to change my gearing down to the easiest, so I had a little bit of a difficult time getting up to speed. Live and learn! Also, the run in to T1 was very rocky. Small little rocks were hurting the feet.

Had a difficult time racking. I'm not used to racking by the saddle and this is what everyone was doing, so I followed suit.

Comments:

Run was terrible, but that was to be expected. I have hardly trained in the last 6 weeks because of a new baby at home. My calves were cramping real bad the first 1.5 miles so I didn't push it. I just stayed at an easy pace for the rest of run.
