Swam 200 yards prior to the swim start and did some light stretching

01m 47s / 100 meters

Comments:

Haven't really worked on swimming at all this year. 2 swims in Jan and 2 in Feb. Short race so not much time to be gained here. Slower than my swim two years ago here but not to far off

What would you do differently?:

Outside of putting in the work, nothing

Haven't been outside for a bike other than today. Have only managed 3 trainer rides in Jan, 3 in Feb, and now 2 in March. Weather and work have not aligned for any outdoor rides, but things are looking up

What would you do differently?:

A few more rides and some longer efforts

Transition 2

01m 46s

Comments:

New shoes and I didn't put the quick laces on. After three attempts tying my shoes I had to take off the gloves.

What would you do differently?:

quick trip to Dick's could have saved me 30 sec or more.

5 kms

Comments:

Fastest run in a triathlon. Managed negative splits 7:37, 7:26, 7:17, and 6:41

What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Post race

Warm down:

Ran to see a friend start their race, sat to long and cramped a bit

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The work I didn't put into the swim and bike. I did put more work into the run and had gains there

Event comments:

As always great early season Tri. 421 registered but turnout closer to 360. Weather may have scared some off.

I like the shirt and the visor. AG prize was nice too.
