 Swim
Comments: Very solid swim for me given not very serious swimming over the summer. Very good sighting for me! What would you do differently?: Nothing  Transition 1
Comments: As it was still raining a bit when they closed transition before the swim start, I had my helmet upside down and my sunglasses in a wash cloth underneath. When I put my helmet on, straps would not fit! It took me awhile to figure out the straps were reversed! What would you do differently?: Not have my helmet straps messed up!  Bike
Comments: Wet road plus winds made fast descents a little scary. Transition 2
Comments: OK T2 after terrible T1 What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: Very little hard running this summer showed itself with slow speed. Need to work in intervals and harder runs while avoiding injury. Limited running post hiking/knee injury and ankle pain. Post race
Warm down: Normal What limited your ability to perform faster: Slow run as usual plus worse T1 I have ever had! Event comments: Lots of beginners. I signed up late so started towards the back of the time trial. I passed 131 people on the bike and was only passed by one guy. I won one of the 2 Grand Prize raffles - a catered Italian dinner for 10. Yumm! Last updated: 2015-09-06 12:00 AM

Overall Rank = 31/270

Age Group Rank = 4/20
Normal routine: 2 Eggo waffles with butter and syrup, coffee, water and a banana. I also had a Gu about 45 minutes before the swim start.
Not much as it was rainy! Just some walking and stretching and a dip in the lake with a few strokes and arm circles before the swim.
