Comments:

Sluggish. This was actually the second part of the race as it was a run swim run, and after running 2miles outdoor coming inside was no fun. It was hot and steamy in the room, and the pool didn't cool me off as I had hoped. I didn't do as well as I'd hoped on the swim, but I was going faster than I felt like I was going, so thats something.

Both T1 and T2 are included in my swim time.
What would you do differently?:

I need to work on counting my laps and pacing myself better, it was almost as if I was just going through the motions. My brain and body were not conecting today. I think if my week hadn't been so hard mentally I would have been able to push my body better.

I am slow.
What would you do differently?:

Go faster. I am just not coordinated when working out and changing modes.

Comments:

I didn't feel as though I was pushing myself very hard, but my legs weren't listening to me. I felt like my cadence was right on target and when I checked it a few times, it was, but I just couldn't get myself to go faster.
What would you do differently?:

Better mental training. Strides. Strides and more strides. Open up that gait.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

My head wasn't in it 100%.

Event comments:

This was a completely different format for me. I enjoy trying different things. It was a good experience and if they do it again, I'd like to see if I can improve. Its been so long since I've run a race on a track.
