The Race

Swim 32:xx

Goggles lens popped out in warmup

Thats why I carry 2 to the start line

Choppy conditions and below avg swim.  Others seemed to have similarly slower times compared to prior races

Bike 2:26:xx

NP 266 IF 0.8

Given my current fitness this was the goal and best case scenario so thumbs up!

Mechanical chain stuck under chain catcher.  Nightmare!!!!  Not sure how I managed to do this but feel lucky I got it out. Cost me a few minutes right out of T1.  Stuck with it and focused on power.

Need to get mechanics dialed in

Need to work on fit

Run

1:27:xx

6:52 avg pace very even split

Felt really good off the bike.  Maybe it's the Dimond. I maxed out the drop of my TT bars as well.

5th AG Going to Australia 2016!!!!
