I definitely had a better/smoother swim this time around. Hardly any bumping or clashes with other guys in my wave. I pushed out a little too wide in the first leg and could have gone on a tighter line to the first turn bouy.

See if I can find an inside line to first bouy.

Much better T1 from Race #2. My gear clipped on really well this time and I was out of Transition quicker.

Wow! My HR was really stable throughout the entire course and kept it in the low 150's as desired and only peaked at 155 ("average") during the hilly Mile8 & 9 as expected!

We'll see what another couple of weeks of training result in.

Much better effect in T2 this time. I'll see if using a towel to dry off feet will help with socks and shoes next time.

Much better pacing this time from the onset. I got down to 7:12min/mile average for Mile3 so I'm almost on target for my 7:00/mile pace. I'm setting my Spark to "Race" mode for Race #4 coming up in Sept.

Easy to cool down and get my HR normalized this time. I definitely pushed the pace from the onset on the Run but I didn't have after-effects from the effort.


The/my race went off without a hitch once again. It's good to have 3 races under my belt at the same venue to see my improvements. I have gotten better in every metric that matters so I'm happy to see the progress. Looking forward to Race #4 where I want my run to stand out even if my Swim or Bike don't improve or even decline.
