Swim
Comments: Did much better in this OWS. Actually swam the 800m faster than the 500m in my last race by 1 minute. The extra work out at the lake really paid off. I did get kicked in the face a couple of times put it didn't have nearly the impact as in my first race, I was much better prepaid for the contact this time. I had set a goal of 17 minutes and I came in 1 1/2 minutes under that at 15 1/2 minutes for I am really happy with my swim time. What would you do differently?: Stay farther away from the turn buoys. hit a lot of traffic at both buoys, i was within 2 or 3 feet of the buoys at the turns. Transition 1
Comments: Not much to say here every thing went pretty smoothly. Just a little frustrated with my HR monitor it seems to have bit the dust, its supposed to be water resistant to 50m put it looks like the water got in and it didn't give me any info. Guess its time to upgrade. Bike
Comments: This course must be really fast, hit an average of 20 mph for the first time. Up to this point my best average has been 18.8 mph, so I am satisfied, but I got passed by more people than I passed so I was loosing ground (my fastest avg speed still had me in the bottom 10% for my AG), but still my fastest average ever so can't be unhappy about that. I drank a little to much and that bothered me the first mile or so of the run. What would you do differently?: Drink little less. Transition 2
Comments: Not much for me to do in T2 since I don't have bike shoes, just take of my helmet put on hat and go. Run
Comments: Drank a little to much on the bike so had some sloshing issues in my stomach, but that worked itself out within the first mile, my legs seemed a little more fatigued, and it was harder going, didn't have my HR monitor to judge my effort so just had to wing it. I beat my goal pace by 15 seconds so I am pretty happy with my performance on the run. What would you do differently?: Get better HR monitor. Post race
