Nothing fancy here, pretty typical OW swim for me this year. Felt like a solid middle-of-pack effort.

This year seems to be all about the bike, and today's was no exception. I had a good ride and passed a lot of people, and played tag with a friend of mine. I definitely felt the fatigue from the previous day's race, and I burned a match that took me a lot longer to recover from than it would have normally. But still a really good bike performance.

The part I was actively dreading the most turned out to be not that bad at all. I was able to run sub-10:00 for brief stretches and I ran the whole distance. At the end I really really really felt fatigued and redlined at 8-9:00 for the last few hundred yards, like really couldn't possibly have gone any faster.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around, drink water, drink beer.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Run strength.

Event comments:

Good local race, supports a great cause. Well-run, very scenic venue, all-around great day.
