Congrats on the swim and not "hydrating" during it... oh, and also on not running with the helmet on! 

Not unusual to feel a bit slower than you'd like with no taper, but were the paces you hit what you were looking for heading into the HIM?

Good luck on the long course, too!

Matt

My first triathlon was at age 56. At first I was just the cameraman at my daughter's first triathlon, then I am doing the races that she has done.

The triathlon made a lot of sense as I could fit the training around early mornings and other times that wouldn't eat too much into my family time. Things never go completely to plan do they?

Both the Lake Triathlon Shoe CX210TRI and the Lake Road Shoe CX225 offer distinct advantages. I tested both shoes and found them to be extremely comfortable, good looking and durable.
