Water was pretty shallow but comfortable. I think Im finding drafting is not as useful for speed as it is for letting someone else sight.

I got this whole getting into the shoes while on the bike down to a science finally.

Once again I tried to go back to wearing a shirt and once again it probably cost me 20 seconds.

Little bit of wind. 3 times over the causeway = up it 6 times. I pretty much stayed seated with the exception of the last climb.

Bike I still have a pretty big limiter I was happy with the average considering the course but could have certainly been better. Goals for the off season. Im hoping adding weight lifting next year is going to add a little more force for climbs in addition to extra riding.

Everything went smooth race was a little unorganized had a confusing bike finish. And, I dont know what to do about this but I have yet to do a ride of 20+ miles where I dont have to pee when I get off the bike. I had to stop post transition and pee. That really sucks in the middle of a race.

Make sure I check the actual entrance to the bike finish not just look at it from a distance.

Had a really nice run could have gone a bit faster but wanted to be sure I had enough for the end. Took two waters at each stop one to dump on head the other to take two sips then dump on head kept nice and cool.

Walk around hunt for water since the only thing I could seem to find was OJ.


Could have pushed a little harder. I just wanted to finish without stopping and I did. My biggest limiter to work on for the off-season is definitely going to be my bike. Also I need to work on understanding distances for running so that I dont end up at the finish with the ability to run more miles. I could have easily done a few more miles which means I definitely could have pushed harder. This however was my first time at this distance so it was a learning experience.


Fun race somewhat poorly organized as far as the course went I didnt understand why we had to come back into the parking lot for that little loop each time why not just extended the course on the main road. My goal was top 50% of my age group and I made it dead center so I'll take it. Am having a little bit of , I wont be racing again until next year depression. But Im looking forward to taking the next week or two off has been a busy first year.
