Much better swim than last week, because I didn't try to go the whole first length on 5 x 5 breathing. Did maybe 10 strokes at 5 x 5 then settled into a normal pattern.

Nothing; pretty decent swim for me.

Little longer than normal, but due to the cold I had to take the time to shrug on a thermal bike jersey, then sit down on the curb to get my shoes on rather than tromping through the grass, and then pull on gloves.

Nothing. Given all of the above, a pretty good T1.

Took first loop generally easy, then pushed on second by performing five-minute harder intervals on a couple of minutes generally easy spinning.

Nothing...pretty good bike leg.

Again, due to my area being in the wet grass, I didn't want to put my shoes on and have debris in them that'd bother me during the run. So I again sat on the curb to get my shoes on. Feet were like little blocks of ice.

A little longer than I'd expect, even given the above, but not too bad.

Actually a good run for me, these days, breaking a 12:00 mile. Had a plan, stuck to it. Still cannot understand how I ran the first mile as fast as I did. Miles 2 and 3 were more what I expected. Maybe not being able to feel my feet at the outset (due to the cold) - felt like I was running in clown shoes - is the way to go.

Not a thing.

Solid event, if a little short, but that makes it a fun morning. Get in, do the race and blow it out, then go home.
