Great swim for me due to the fact that I got aerobic way to soon last year

What would you do differently?:

Not a thing best bike I have ever had

Good T2 it could have been faster

Comments:

Best run that I have had at the end of a race. I ran the entire time although it was slow, it was the fastest that I have had at the end of a tri. Sub 15 in a tri is about 2:30 Minutes off what I usually do.
What would you do differently?:

Keep training for the run and tri to keep my foot healthy.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked a little and rehydrated

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Prior foot problems and lack of training on the run.

Event comments:

Good race for first timers and it was good to be there with some of my friends that were doing it for the first time.

This is a little deceptive, because when you stepped out of the pool you triggered your bike time, and when you exited the on the run you tripped the clock so you bike time included T1 and T2

Good race Michael. Sounds like things went quite smoothly for you. Now -- do our races simply come up on the forum when we enter them? Or when someone replies to them?

It really looks like you are ready for your season. Good job.
