Nice to be back on the bike again after crashing last week. Still a bit tender in the hip and hands but feels good to get the body moving again, albeit slowly.

8th in AG and 40th overall - solid result, especially since I’ve been more in maintenance mode rather than building since Hengqin 70.3 in March. Happy with it! Day even made better when I get to race with @emp.creative
.
Swim (28:07)
Sighting was pretty tough as the buoys heading out were directly in the sun. I kept wanting to swim towards the return buoys but had to correct a number of times. Considering I’ve only been swimming approx. 2000m/week since March, I’m really pleased with the swim! Definitely made easier by spending more time in the open water in the lead up to the race.
.
Bike (1:09)
New bike course. Huge improvement compared to last year’s course with some tight and bumpy sections taken out. Still a very fast course with some technical turns thrown in. Considering I was on a non-aero road bike, really happy with it.
.
Run (46:16)
Had a decent run off the bike. Had to walk two aid stations to cool off and lost some time there. Overall pace was a little slower than I liked. I always seem to run off the bike better during training than racing for some reason. But all in all, not much to complain about! Did have to make some nutrition adjustments from my 70.3 plan to Oly distance. Worked out...OK. Will fine tune for my next Oly race.
.
Overall (2:30:12)
.
As always, thanks to @koasports01 and @timballintine for the race prep. And of course, my wife for putting up with me 🫣🫣

Signed up for a local 5K while I'm back in SoCal just for fun as I've always been curious about how I'd do at this distance...and man, it hurt!! From start to finish, it's just full gas. And the last km is just death.
.
I didn't have a plan really other than to be gutsy and just go hard. At my current fitness level, I had an idea of what was sustainable and I knew it would be a stretch to break 20, but hey, you gotta just give it a go. Ended up running a 20:34, a new 5K PR for me. Pretty happy with it.
.
Big shout out to @movalruns for putting together such a well organized event. I've raced many big events and the organization of this one is right up there. Fantastic job and congratulations on 2 years!!
