Swim (1.2 miles) I lined up close to front, not expecting too much. i was in a good pack for the first 100m or so, then we took the first turn, and my navigational proficiency failed, i swam out of the pack and was unable to find a set of feet to draft, so wound up swimming most of the course on my own. not ideal, but it makes for a good workout. SWIM 0:34:45 (1:47/100m), still lots of room to improve.
T1 a nice long run up the boat ramp and over to the bike, stripped my wetsuit with no issues, onto the bike. 2:35
Bike (56 miles) got onto the bike with that all to familiar my legs are still in the swim feel, not to excited about that, so i push a little bit to try to wake them up, after 4 or 5 miles of this and no real response, i accept it and just try to find a nice rhythm. Not too long into the ride i'm settled in a bit. just before the 1/2 way point i see a buffalo, that's a pleasant suprise, don't see too many of those in this area. the unspectacularness continues through the remainder of the bike, the climbs are slow and steady, i briefly get stuck behind a trio of cars on a downhill section and then am passed by them on the flat. i enjoy the relaxing coast down into t2: Bike 2:55:50 (19.1 mph).
T2 got in racked my bike, put on my shoes, and back out, a very comfortable and efficient transtion: 1:41
Run (13.1 miles) : the run wasn't bad, not spectacular, it's a nice run along the lake for the first 4 or 5 miles, then it turns in and runs through the campsites, so there is lots of people to help distract from the heat and discomfort. i had some issues and walked a bit on the run course, then decided that's not going to cut it, i need to get some running done, so i muster a decent pace for the remainder of the run, cruising up the climbs, and coasting down through the descents. on the last downhill i let gravity run it's magic, and continue to hold the momentum through the finish line. RUN 1:58:35 (9:03 min/mile) another unspectacular day: 5:33:26. looks like i did some digressing since oceanside.
