Perfect conditions for the swim. Held my line in the water and was able to stay in the pack w/o getting beat up. Sighting and navigation was perfect.

Nothing. This was best swim to date.

Long run from swim exit to transtion (low tide)

Struggled a bit getting my bike out. My seat fits under the rack fine with no other bikes on it. Add a couple of bikes and it gets stuck. I will set up transtion on the other side of bike next time.

Slight crosswind 5mph WSW. Fast and flat course.

COuld have pushed a little harder. Need to pedal up every couple minutes and try to grab another gear.

Perfectly executed T2

Pretty good pace, again probably could have pushed a little harder

Good calf stretches and roll calf with "the stick" to get my legs warmed up before the race. Left calf was tight and cramped a little on the run.
First time running w/o socks in a race. I managed to rip the toenails off both my pinky toes which added a good bit of discomfort during the run and probably cost me a couple minutes.

Walked around for a bit and did my usual stretches


Tight calf and ripped off toenails. Still could have pushed harder on the bike and/or the run.


Although I didn't have any problems, my wife and others said there were several athletes that got off course at teh end of the run. The end of the run was a bit ackward with a run to the end of the road, U-turn that took you back towards transition but had a quick left turn to finish. Volunteer coordinator seemed to be a little on a power trip. She sounded very condescending the few times I heard her giving instructions to body markers and transition area monitors.
