Wait, what? A top 10 swim time, nice! Felt good but also felt like I was faultering at the end, but not bad with a little of a long run to the timing mat!
What would you do differently?:

Swim more! And not use my deSoto top, it is too big on me now!
Transition 1
  • 00m 30s
Comments:

In and out, not too bad at all
What would you do differently?:

Might work on having shoes attached to bike, but still is good running with shoes on

Comments:

Was good riding, caught folks going up hills, started to tire at about 15-16 miles and got a little sore behind one knee, but found 2nd wind and motored in. Need to up my bike distance and nutrition
What would you do differently?:

Work nutrition and riding farter at speed, wasn't prepared for such a long bike
Transition 2
  • 01m
Comments:

Racked bike backwards, as I came in with a pack and wanted to beat them out of T2. So had to spin bike around and re-rack it
What would you do differently?:

Not be in such a hurry
Run
  • 31m 7s
  • 4.5 miles
  • 06m 55s  min/mile
Comments:

Felt great, but had to chase down three guys coming out of T2 (we had a small group of 6 all within a minute of each other), so as I passed the last guy, I thought I was in first and ran scared and fast the whole way. Ran well, but was overheating and passed too many aid stations
What would you do differently?:

Take more water, whether to drink or cool me down. Ran well
Post race
Warm down:

Jumped back in the pool and changed into dry stuff

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just work the bike and swim a bit more, but the season is winding down now

Event comments:

Again, did this race based off of how well OZ endurance runs a race, was a poor turnout, but it was also end of season and school had just started so not too many young ones racing

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.
