Swimming race 9:13 [2]
Awful swim after a great warmup... couldn't catch my breath at all. I basically floated the entire time and waited for the current to take me to the finish line. The problem was that it was a lake...
Biking race 37:39 [5] 14.2 mi (22.6 mph)
After the horrible swim, I had to hammer the bike. Finally in my element! 14th fastest time on the day. I calculated in a virtual race, with all waves starting at the same time, I would've passed 165 people. One smallish hill on the ride, and I made up several places on that alone.
Running race 20:13 [5] 3.1 mi (6:31 / mi)
Hopped off the bike and my legs felt a little stiff but only for the first few hundred yards. Kept a high cadence and got into a quick rhythm. It would've been nice to know how much further I had to go, so I could push it the last mile, but I didn't want to overexert myself and then have nothing left for a final kick. End result was that I had a bit more in me and could've pushed harder on the last leg.
Note
Overall, I'm happy with the result: 33rd overall, 6th in AG. My result looks funny, since my swim and bike/run places are soooo far apart. I've done very little high intensity speedwork this season, really only doing faster paced workouts in the last few weeks, so I'm not really in a "sprint" mentality. The swimming will just have to be worked on, again and again and again. I'm glad I've got the experience though... it's something to build on.
