Did the Brewhouse Triathlon this weekend long course. It was a .8 mile swim, 20.9 mile bike and 5 mile run. The swim was in two waves for the long course and I tried starting in front and just got beat up for the first 200 meters. Once I settled in I was all right, until we took the second turn to start coming back and I ended up going about 50 meters off course, and then coming back on course about 6 people back and I just never settled. Came out of the water in about 25th for males with a 23:30 swim. Jumped on bike and due to some guy passing me my testosterone kicked in and I didn't drop under 25 for about 5 miles. The first lap I averaged 24 mph on a somewhat hilly, somewhat windy course. The second I was down around 22.5 cause of my ridiculous start. I ended up around 50 mins and up to 7th place(7th bike split, overall). Came out of T1 and ran myself into t1 in about 1/2 mile and then it was just for time. I ended up hauling on the run with a 26:58 5 mile run.

Definately some things learned for my A race in two weeks. A, I won my age group and could have been top 3 with a decent swim. B, still no problem running off the bike. C, I have to control how I start my legs. All in all a real good time.
