nice and easy; AP=120/NP=130watts
too bad the 4 mile aero testing shows that I am still not an aero rider
CdA=0.32 today, holy sh*t that's bad
I've been riding closer to 0.26 when trying, so I'll have to do an aero specific ride again and recheck everything.

Run

2h 00m 37s
13.26 miles
09m 06s /Mi

Melted in the run, but so did everyone. My feet are torn to sh*t as I had a cut from the sprint tri on Thursday on the bottom of my foot, and then I forgot socks in transition, so I had cuts and blisters everywhere. 5 good sized ones filled with fluid.

Very challenging day with brisk AM temps in the high 50's, chilly water and then overwhelming heat by the end of the race. Transition was LONG. Bike was very hilly and the run had the hill at the furthest point of the loop, which you get to do twice.

tough race, but I left it all out there..

1.00 miles
10m /Mi

Pre-swim warm up
Ouch, ouch and ouch

Swim

10m
400.00 yards
02m 30s /100 yards

Pre-race swim to check it out and find my comfort zone
Forgot garmin-time/distance is a guess based on my watch

Foot is really sore to walk on it-but I can overcome pain once the gun goes off, but I may stash some sneaks at the water exit. It's a long way to the bike.

Gonna redress my wound now.
