They had the start order all jacked up with respect to the estimated swim times, so had to pass two people (was lucky it was only two, really). Kept a good pace without overdoing anything - already knew I'd be towards the FOP with this size of race so no need to push it to gain 10 seconds here.

Nothing.

T1 time included in bike time. Getting the socks and bike shoes on still takes me forever...I probably lose 45-60 seconds here on most competitors.

2nd overall female and I kept each other company most of the ride. I was better at shifting than she was, so I was up most of the hills faster. On the flats she was a bit better than I.

I probably could have pushed it a bit more, but with that huge climb at the end plus the run coming with the same hills I held back a bit.

Time included in run (I think). Had a great T2 though - was in and out very quickly thanks to the new model of Saucony Guides which actually let you use Yankz.

Good enough run...probably should have pushed the flats some more. Hauled it up the final hill as well as I could but my stomach had other ideas about 80% of the way up. Dialed it back and finished the race with a very respectable time.

Push the flats more instead of the final hill.

Mostly walking around and taking in water and granola bars. Chatted with my transition mates a bit.


Fitness level could be better, but that comes with time.


Exactly what you'd expect from a small local sprint.
