Swim
What would you do differently?: I swam with clear goggles because the sun had not come up yet when I left transition. Definitely needed tinted / polarize goggles for the long back stretch into the sun. Transition 1
Comments: I had the same setup as normal but I felt a little disorganized for some reason. Ended up putting on my shoes and helmet out of order and then I felt like I was forgetting something. Probably wasted 30 seconds. Bike
Transition 2
Run
Comments: It was a hot day. Heat doesn't bother me much and didn't slow me down. I am just slow. I usually run better on training days that are over 90 degrees but even on fresh legs I can only run a 50 minute 10k. Post race
Warm down: Walk to the food tent, get lots of cold water. What limited your ability to perform faster: I am slow. Event comments: This was a very well organized race. Lots of good swag including nice finisher medals for all including at the sprint level. Several world class pros raced today. It was good to be that close to top pros at a "local" race.
