My first podium!!
I had a great race. The swim was excellent and the bike near perfect. I still need work on the run though.
Swim: It was a beach start and I lined up on the far right of the wave. When the horn sounded I was off like a shot. I quickly moved past the people on my left (there was no one on my right). When the water hit just above my knees I dove in. I swam like mad to get to the lead group. My main goal was to keep my draft throughout the entire swim. The major focus was not losing the draft at the turn buoys. In the past I tended to get distracted at the buoys. Mostly because I was so excited at how well I had drafted that I would lost track of the person I was drafting off of. Net result, I came in on the heels of the lead group and had the fastest swim split in my age group.
Bike: Second fastest split in my age! No real magic here. I caught a draft and stayed the legal 3 bike lengths behind. As we passed riders I moved in and out of the legal draft zone.
Run: What can I say still needs a lot of work
