Over the Mountain

This was another good race for me.  This was the same course I raced last year (the weather conditions were about the same).  I didn't wear a wetsuit this year on the swim, so I just had a nice leisurely swim leg. Being a hilly International distance triathlon bike course, I had a strong bike (staying in the small chain-ring the entire ride).  I didn't eat the morning of the race which worked out well (something I have had success with all year).  Here were my times:

Swim: 00:32:15 (last year 00:32:18 with a wetsuit)
Bike: 01:21:34 (last year 01:23:07)
Run: 00:47:13 (last year 00:49:00)
Total time: 02:44:04 (last year 02:47:03)
