Wasted 5 minutes treading water - got tired. Lifeguard boat came in right before our wave started and kicked up the waves.
What would you do differently?:

stay where you can stand up until the start if such a place exists. No point in treading water if you don't have to.

don't underestimate my ability. I am a stronger swimmer than a lot of these people.

gotta practice open water swims. work on siting.
Transition 1
  • 05m 26s
Comments:

the transition involved close to .25 mile run from the lake, up a steep hill, barefoot. Could've shaved a couple of minutes if the swim hadn't been so rocky.

great ride. executed exactly as I had envisioned. Knowing course ahead of time helped (remember the guy who almost took me out at the turn onto shadburn ferry and the other guy that left the course turning onto PIB)
Transition 2

Comments:

I'm happy w/ my transition.

Comments:

hard time getting feet under me in first mile. I think the downhill start out of transition had me going to fast. Part of my head was still on the bike course.

What a good race & race report..

Interesting point about finding a place to stand instead of treading water...


Have a great week!
