Don't know my breakdown ranks as they messed up my split times. However, my overall watch time was accurate w/ the races.

May eventually work on swimming a faster few hundred then settling in to distance myself from others. For now, I don't believe I will change a thing.

I put shoes on and run in them. The few seconds I would save w/ shoes already clipped in, isn't worth it yet. I think I will invest in a good trisuit to eliminate a few steps.

Practice, practice.

Nothing. Seemed to push just the right amount for this distance. Probably would have been a bit hard for oly distance though.

Cord locks work nicely.

Felt good for me. Pushed the pace faster than I ever have in a tri setting.

Think I will start running with water bottle/camelbak. Have trouble drinking from a cup on the run. Never seem to get enough water, despite feeling hydrated coming off the bike.

Cool off in lake and stretch. Refuel with fruits and gatorade.


Might make some minor gear changes to decrease transition times. Overall, limiter is that I'm new to racing and have more base building to do. Will try a massage in the future.


Will certainly do some of this race series again.
