Pretty solid run. I like to hold back a bit and try to keep the two runs fairly close in time. The muddy conditions definitely made it slower as well.

Nothing

Solid T1. Fumbled a bit with the helmet but not bad.

Dogged it a bit here. I found myself in the lead early on, but was overtaken eventually. Just tried to keep the guy in sight and hoped to get him on the run.

Not sure if it was the conditions, but I could've pushed harder here when I looked at the power numbers after the fact.

Solid T2

Jacket got stuck on the watch, should've had that dealt with prior to getting off the bike.

Only a few seconds slower than the first run, so great pacing there. I was keeping an eye on the guy who was in the lead and felt like I was slowly reeling him in. When we came out of the trails and up to the finishing stretch on the park road, I thought I had a chance to get him so I dropped the hammer. I made the pass with about 100 meters to go and got to break the tape! Unfortunately someone from a later wave ended up with a faster time, so I was bumped to 2nd overall, but still pretty cool.

Lost a shoe in the mud that I had to go back for...

Walked around and stretched a little.


The conditions were a factor, as was my general attitude and motivation here.


I feel like it's never good weather here, which obviously isn't the organizer's fault. Otherwise I really like this local event.
