Not expecting so much traffic...Collided hard with another swimmer mid-race, owie. My cold still left me with some breathing difficulties.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more...especially when there are THAT many people swimming laps back and forth!!
Transition 1
  • 03m
Comments:

I have no idea how long T1 actually took. They gave us all 3 minutes at T1. I don't think anyone was actually counting.
What would you do differently?:

Not worry about bringing flip flops, just run with my towel from pool to T1.

Comments:

Really struggled with gear problems. Also my rear brake caught my bike, explaining (in part) the sub-par time.
What would you do differently?:

Get the bike checked before the next race! Something isn't quite right with those gears...They were randomly switching, maybe there was a chain problem...

  • 01m 40s
Comments:

This went pretty smooth... I put on my camelpak and ran!

Comments:

The run felt really good. After getting those first miserable few yards out of the way....
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around a bit, quick shower. Came home, ate, crashed.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Struggled on the bike. Wish I would have practiced more swimming.

Event comments:

Big party with food afterwards! I liked the awards ceremony. I ended up carrying plenty to drink when I was running since there were no water stations along the way. I'd definitely do it again!
