Swim race 31:34 [4] 2.0 km (15:47 / km)
Peterborough 1/2 Iron Tri Swim Course (2 loops) 1st lap was sub 15min, caught a good draft on way in, 2nd lap was just over 15min so I was quite happy with the swim. Exiting water was about a minute run up to T1.
T1 1:28 (took my time getting onto the bike and putting sunscreen on) It was smokin hot already and it only 8:30am. Came out of water 7th in my age group.
Ride race 2:26:51 [5] 90.0 km (1:38 / km)
Peterborough 1/2 Iron Tri Bike Course, challenging out & back course, nice country roads, very hilly. Rode East and had a tail wind until the turn around, coming back was into the fan. AVG 36.8km/hr. At 85km I toned it back quite a bit b/c my quads and hamstrings were about to cease up.
Experimented this race with eLoad Zone Caps every 50min in add'n to 4 bottles on the bike. At about 65km I was back and forth with the 1st place guy in AG and then at 85km he pulled ahead. Came into T2 in 2nd in AG.
T2 1:19 (again took my time to load up on sunscreen & zone caps in my jersey)

Peterborough 1/2 Iron Tri Run Course.
Started out the 1st 3km in 14min and then realized this pace was too fast to keep up. Set my goal to maintain a 5min/km pace for the final 18km and just try to cruise it. The intensity was high b/c of the heat factor not my pace. Stopped at every station to walk, drink water/gatorade and pour water over me. Also had to stop for a leak at the 13km mark (turnaround).
Just wanted to get the run over with, and felt getting really slow. 5 guys in my AG passed me on the run which was disappointing.
Overall very happy with result. My time goal was exactly 4:45:00.
28/453 & 7th/40 in AG.
