I was very surprised I did so well. I haven't swam since last August and did better than last year. I think being in better shape overall helped a lot.

As always, train more. When the pool opens, be sure to work on technique and fitness.

No T1. Swim was the night before.

I probably could have used more fluids and I need to get in better with those hills. I did pass quite a few and got passed by quite a few. Over all I think I could have done better with more training but it was a good overall effort.

Train more (this is sounding repetitive). Also I need a tune up on the bike. Gears are not shifting perfectly and I'm in bad need of learning bike maint.

Good transition, although I forgot to take of my riding gloves. No worries, I took them off and put them in the pockets of my tri top.

Take off the gloves, taken a drink.

Great run. Best ever 5k and it was after a bike! Felt great, and I think I had negative splits.

As always keep up the training. I think the run was about as good as it could have been for the training I put in.

Pizza grapes and bananas!


Some bike maint issues, but mostly lack of training.


Fun race. It was great to meet Mark (dochalladay). That was one of the high points of the event. Great guy and a lot of fun to chat with. I hope to see him at a lot of events this year and in years to come. The event was a lot of fun and the Y did a great job. I do wish they had more drink stations on the run and more information in the packets. They ran out of swim caps and I didn't get one. More info on race times, and where race pictures would be would have been nice in the packet. Overall a fun time!

Super bummed there were no finishing photos?!?
