I had a great swim going but I somehow missed sighting the 3rd buoy (someone later said it had deflated...maybe, maybe not...I just didn't see it). A kayaker had to redirect me...probably lost 90 seconds from all the additional swimming.

Pay better attention to where the buoys are set. Probably need to get some tinted goggles too.

I thought I did a decent job of getting through T1 but I was 11th in my age group.

move faster

Rode comfortably hard...didn't try to push it since I knew I had a hilly run to get through. A slight headwind and slight uphill going out but it wasn't too bad. A tt bike or aerobars would have helped.

nothing other than getting more aero equipment.

Decent T2...6th in my age group.

Learn to ride in with feet on top of shoes.

I thought my legs were starting to cramp when I took off out of T2 but they settled down. Short stepped it up the pedestrian bridge incline then settled into a nice rhythm for the rest of the run. I picked up the pace after cresting the final hill...pushed it pretty hard to the finish.

Calf injury around Memorial Day had me sidelined for a while so I wasn't real confident about the run...I did about what I thought I would do given the amount of running I've done since the injury. Just need to get run volume back up again and the speed will come.

I didn't rinse the anti-fog solution out of my goggles very well before the swim and my right eye was badly irritated from it. Walked around, got something to eat and checked in with my friends that were participating (all with just one eye open). I got out of there after transition opened up since my eye was ruining an otherwise pleasant race day.


Poor sighting on the swim. Faster transition execution. Recent calf injury hampering run fitness.


Team Magic does a good job running events.
