Really good open water swim for me. I've always had issues but today it went well. I was calm and had no problems. I'm excited to go again in my next race.

Transition was very slow.

Not injure the bottom of my feet 4 days before the race. Walking barefoot is very painful let alone running on concrete.

Bike leg was good. Need to work more on staying aero while on the trainer. Also need to work the abs to handle it. I might consider doing another fitting but will hold off. My comfort level on the bike always changes with my weight. Final climb was not expected.

Need to get better at climbing

Transitions were slow. It's been so long since I did either. My feet being in rough shape didn't make this easier either.

Don't hurt my feet 4 days before an event.

I completely was not expecting the hills and the heat. Kicked me in the butt.

Need to do more brick workouts as well as hill workouts in my neighborhood

Walked around after the finish line trying to lower my core temperature. Heat was overwhelming. Drank plenty of water and then walked back to transition.


This was my first triathlon in 2 years. Transitions were slow. The lack of brick workouts and hill training was definitely a factor in my performance.


Very organized race. Course is well managed and everything was very good. I will definitely do this race again next year.
