Torn Shirt Xterra Race Report

Swim: 1/2 mile
Bike: 15 miles
Run: 6 miles

Results:
17.1 mins on the swim.  The course was a little longer than 1/2 mile.  Took 4th in my class
1:17:40 on the bike.  Took 5th in my class.
1:05:00 on run. Took 9th in my class.

My time was just over 19 minutes faster last year, which was mainly due to the run. The Torn Shirt trail is a tough trail to run.  I felt a lot better than during Fort Custer Xterra.  I wore a calf sleeve since I was having very bad calf pains.  I had zero issues on this run.  I used the Zoot CompressRx sleeve.  Look goofy, but work awesome.  I need to get this run down to 50 minutes.

The bike was uneventful.  Normal congestion.  I seemed to zone out a lot so I don't think I went the full 110% I'm use too.  Maybe this is why my run was better.

My goal during the swim was to go balls out then pace myself.  I started in front of the pack and I know I stayed up there because I passed a few people then I didn't see anyone.  Once I made the turn I had goggle issues.  They fogged up and with the sun in my face, I couldn't spot anything.  I was constantly stopping to see where I was at.  It was very frustrating.
