Actually not a bad swim for me. Wish I would have gone without the wetsuit though - the water was warm enough and I haven't worn the suit since spring - felt a little constricted in it.

Not wear the wetsuit and maybe start a little further up. I lined up at the back but kept running into people.

This included a long run uphill from the beach to transition. Still, I could have moved faster. The wetsuit got stuck on my legs and I took a little time to settle my HR before hitting the hills on the bike.

Move a little faster and I need to work on getting the wetsuit off faster.

I really need to learn how to ride hills. I had to get off and walk a couple of the steeper hills. Other than that I had a pretty good ride. I also need to get better at drinking while riding.

Honestly, for my fitness level and hill-riding ability, this was pretty good for me. I would like to get better at hills before next year though.

T2 is always pretty quick for me since I don't have to change to running shoes.

Walked the bigger uphills, ran the smaller ones and as much of the flats and downhills as I could. I've been having some Achilles issues lately so tried to go a bit easier.

Like the bike, more hill training.

Got some food, met up with the tri club and waited for the other members doing the longer races to come in.


I love this race - I volunteered at it for several years before doing it this year. Ultramax always puts on a great event.
