Swimming in a race is pretty hard when you never swim. I'm amazed I used to be able to do IM swims at about 30 seconds per 100 faster that I did this.
What would you do differently?:

I could train but probably wont. The swimming keeps my feet too tender for ultrarunning. Maybe I could swim once a week and still be ok.

Comments:

It takes more than one triathlon a year to keep up your transition skills!
What would you do differently?:

Maybe next year I'll do a few more sprint tris, they are pretty fun.

Had a good bike split, the running really keeps my bike fitness very close to what it was when I was riding.
Transition 2
  • 01m 38s
Comments:

My transitions cost me 3rd in my AG but that's fine. I don't think I'm willing to cut into my ultrarunning goals just to do fractionally better at local tris.

Comments:

5K PR and it was set at 5000 feet elevation during a triathlon. My previous 5k PR was run in Boston on a flat course as a stand alone 5k.
