 Swim
Comments: Since this was a sprint, I went out harder than I typically do and I got pretty out of breath, but I did get ahead of the pack. By the time I got to the half way point, there were several swimmers from the previous wave that made navigation difficult. After rounding the boat, I slowed down a bit, but was still pretty out of breath. According to the official time, my pace was 2:04/100. My Garmin had me at 1:30/100. What would you do differently?: I would probably take it a bit easier at the start and work up to a reasonable pace. I think I wasted some effort with this swim that slowed me a bit for the bike.  Transition 1
Comments: I was a bit slow in T1. The rain did not help. I do like the fact that my new wetsuit is easier to get on and off. What would you do differently?: I need to practice my transitions. I have not done that yet this year.  Bike
Comments: I stayed pretty much in upper zone 4 through most of this ride, also hitting zone 5 at the start. The cross-wind was not fun. A couple times I nearly lost it and had to use a death grip on my aerobars. With the wet pavement, corners had to be taken slowly. Being in the 3rd from the last wave, there were no fast riders behind me and I aw not passed the entire race. Since it was cool and wet and the race was short, I didn't bother to drink anything. What would you do differently?: Nothing. I was not that happy with my pace, but it was OK for the conditions. Transition 2
Comments: T2 was OK.  Run
Comments: This was a pretty good run. I maintained a decent pace and felt good. I like What would you do differently?: I did just about what I wanted to do. Post race
Warm down: Nothing What limited your ability to perform faster: This was a good race. Event comments: I had a pretty good race. Hopefully they will have the buoys figured out for next year for the swim. Last updated: 2015-06-23 12:00 AM

I got up around 4:00 and it was raining pretty hard. I had a bowl of cereal, OJ, and coffee and checked the weather reports. The day was going to be cold, wet, and windy. I hadn't been to this race before and i checked Google Earth to see what the parking situation would be like. If the parking was on grass, i was going to bag the race, but there was plenty of parking so I went for it. I had mostly packed up the night before so it didn't take long to get packed up. I read for a while, did some light stretching, and left for the race site around 6:00.
Not much of anything. There was no time for a warm up swim.
