Not sure why my swim was so much slower than normal for this distance. I guess I just wasn't really pushing it.

Push the pace more.

I dropped my new (prescription) goggles coming in to transition, so once I realized this happened, I walked back toward the water looking for them; then, I realized I couldn't cross the timing mat, so I just sort of looked down the chute area before giving up and getting ready for the bike. As I was leaving on the bike, resigned to having lost my new goggles after one use, I saw Jenn and told her to look for them. All this is background for why my T1 time is so slow.

Keep hold of my goggles until I get to my transition area.

Okay ride, I guess. A bit slower than I would have liked, but I wasn't really prepared for the hills. At least, I should have been more prepared than I was.

Better prepare for the hills.

Better T2 than T1.

Nothing

This has just been a slow year. The run felt fine, but my pace was just not what I was able to do last year. For next year, I need to do more speed work.

More speed work.

Walked around and cheered Jenn and Jess across the line. Ate some food.


Not sure.


This was a fun race, and it's great that it's a family event. I took the race somewhat easy to ensure I could enjoy the experience, but I was still a bit disappointed with my times. At least my overall time was under 3 hours.
