I felt comfortable at the start. I settled in pretty well, but after the first turn started to have some issues with keeping my head in the water. I was having trouble getting good rotation with wetsuit on, this was the first long swim with the wetsuit on. The course seemed long, but no one had a gps to confirm length. I also have not been able to get any swimming in over the past 10days.

I would get some more swims in with the wetsuit on so it was not so foreign. I would swim closer to the race.

This transition was good. I had some help getting the suit off so that was easy. I am had an issue with my balance when I got to my transition area.

The bike felt good with the new drive train, although I was not able to stay in my big ring as I was trying to watch my cadence. I am normally a masher and was trying to mash less to save for the run. The ride felt like it would never end, my bike computer was not working so I could not tell how fast I was going. I have not ridden much recently so this ride felt extra hard and long.

Insure that my bike computer is working. Maintain my training regiment and not have so much time off before a race.

This was a good transition, not as smooth as I would like, but better.

The run felt good, my legs were a little spent from the ride. In the first qtr mile I got my legs under me and was able to run comfortably.

Train more and closer to the event. Run more bricks.

The time "off" recently from tri specific training.


Course was not marked well but was an enjoyable race.
