Comments:

I took it really easy on the swim as I had a small injury on my right foot and heel. The swim felt really good and easy.
What would you do differently?:

Without injury I would have gone faster but other than that I did pretty well and wouldn't change anything.

Comments:

Transition was slower than I wanted it to be. I had a hard time getting my heart rate monitor on and I had problems putting on my shirt.
What would you do differently?:

I need to practice transition a little bit more to shave of some time but otherwise I wouldn't change anything.

Foot injury and weight.

Event comments:

Overall a good race! I shaved 7 minutes off my time from last year but it was not a PR on this distance. Race was organized and planned out very well. I like the Dallas Athletes races.
