The result sheet said I swam it in 6:50, which I don't think is right. It was probably more like 7:50. I stopped my watch a little late and it read 8:18. I'll take it. I felt pretty good during the swim. I went out a little fast and had to slow down to catch my breath.
The result times were a little screwed up. So all of my times will probably change.

I need to do some type of warm up routine. I swim better if I have had my heart rate up a little.

My T1 was long as usual. I swam with a top on, but then decided to put a long sleeve running shirt over that, because I didn't want to be cold on the bike. I took some time, but was worth it in the end.

Just need to work on the speed of this transition and be more prepared.

Well this is usually my best event, but not today. I should have been holding around 22 mph avg. It basically comes down to not riding enough. I just haven't had the opportunity to ride that much lately. But the good news is that it won't take much for me to get back to that level. Its just kind of a bummer that I wasn't on top of it today. Especially since I missed getting an award by 22 seconds!

Just need to get back to the bike.

I did good on this transition.

Maybe switch my speed laces to my new shoes.

Well I have been doing more running. So this was a good time for me at sub 7:30 min. miles. My legs did feel a little funky coming off the bike and I think that was due to the lack if riding in general.

Well I should have pushed myself the last mile. I could have save that 22 seconds.

Had some fruit, water and bagel.


Probably just not training enough lately in general.
