Swim
Comments: This was the longest swim I have done, so I guess I should be satisfied that I made it through in a decent time. I really have to work out getting out fast the first couple hundred meters and staying calm. What would you do differently?: Keep workin. Transition 1
Comments: Decent T1 for me What would you do differently?: Get better at getting feet in shoes and getting up to speed. Bike
Comments: Probably went too hard on the bike, never got into a comfortable pace. I'm sure my heart rate would have a story to tell... What would you do differently?: Get more fit on the bike. Transition 2
Comments: T2 was sloppy. They didnt have a lane to run with your bike so everyone literally had to pick up their bike and run with it over some medians. No me gusta.... What would you do differently?: Start bitching about the sloppy organization beforehand while I piddle around for 2 hours before the race. Run
Comments: Can't argue with my run. This was the longest race I have done and my pace is rapidly improving. Very satisfied. What would you do differently?: Keep working. Watch my fluid intake on the bike. Post race
Warm down: Super hot and humid, spaced out for about an hour and tried to cool down. What limited your ability to perform faster: Is this where I get to make excuses? Hmm let's see....this is still my rookie season, I was sick the entire week before race week, and I got 3 hours of sleep the night before. All that aside, I probably should just keep training and put in the work. That is how I will perform faster. Event comments: My first "Olympic" distance, was a good preview for how hard I need to focus for Tugaloo. Can't say that I lollygagged, pretty much left it all out there on the course.

Woke up at 3:30 am on 3 hours of sleep, thanks to Alabama-Clemson game that night. Drove an hour 1/2 down to Callaway Gardens.
None really. Set up transition, stretched, maybe a 100m swim.
