Swim
Comments: My swim came together this week. Felt good pretty much the whole way, navigation was on target and when I passed the last buoy I went for it. Easily the best conditions we've had this season. Makes a huge difference to my swimming. Transition 1
Comments: Just happy that I didn't keel over. I'd been a little dizzy a few days prior. Suit always gets stuck on my heels. Baby oil for my ankles next season! Bike
Comments: I had a Giant Trinity tri bike on loan for this race. Apparently a huge time difference! I haven't average 30km/hr on the bike at all this season. Again it may have something to do with no wind! I felt a little slow getting up to speed and into my shoes, but came good and the ride was uneventful. I got held up at a turnaround, but really I'm not sure it made that much difference. Transition 2
Comments: Long run into transition and out. All went smoothly. Run
Comments: For the most part I felt good. Friends were on the course for a surprise cheer. I was a little frustrated that I hadn't set my garmin up properly and as a result had no idea how fast I was running. Sometimes seeing the pace helps me push a little harder, but it is what it is. I lost a couple of places, but thats my run for you. Post race
Warm down: Last race of the season and it was awesome to have some supporters there. Walked home after the race because I had to give the Trinity back. Sad face. What limited your ability to perform faster: With my fitness etc I'm happy enough. Having the Garmin set up properly may have helped a little but onwards and upwards. I enjoyed racing in the awesome conditions. A real treat this season! Last updated: 2014-01-28 12:00 AM

I didnt harbor thoughts of not racing! That's a positive. Rode down to transition and set up with just enough time before it closed.
The bay was calm, I felt awesome in my warm up swim. It was a 47 min wait until our AG started.
