Comments:

One of my best overall swims. Good lines to the buoys. Good sighting. and good speed.

What would you do differently?:

not looked up between the 3 and 4 buoy this got me a little out of rythem and this cost me sometime.

Transition 1

04m 2s

Comments:

Thsi was a 2 /10 of a mile transition. Up stairs and over gravel through sand. It was a horrible transition. The I could not get clipped in. I never have this proble but today was a different story. I have never seen a worse transition from water to bike.

Bike

47m 47s
13 miles
16.32 mile/hr

Comments:

I got a flat with a half mile to go on the bike. I rode it flat so you can imagine the wear on my legs. But we made it in. I checked rim and no damage to rim or tire. Brand new tire just changed out last week.

Transition 2

02m 15s

Comments:

forgot my visor and went back to pick it up. I also hated having to rack from only the right sidebecuase my bike was on the letf this meant having to go all the way down the aisle.

Run

36m 30s
3 miles
12m 10s min/mile

What limited your ability to perform faster:

flat tire and running hills.

Event comments:

Team magic what more can we say. They always do a good job. i just hope they will come up with a different transition for the T1.
