 Swim
Comments: This was a pretty good swim for me. I haven't swam in a while and I was able to find someone's feet that made it pretty easy to follow and the swim was actually an easy to moderate pace for me. What would you do differently?: Not much with this amount of training.  Transition 1
Comments: My damn wetsuit always gets stuck!!! I'm not sure how to fix that problem, but my giant feet don't help the situation! What would you do differently?: Slow and methodical.  Bike
Comments: I held back too much on the bike. My stomach was being a bit funny, so I just didn't push it enough. I was feeling good and could have pushed harder. Feet were numb as well. What would you do differently?: Just go balls out. Transition 2
Comments: T2 went very smooth. I jammed my feet into my shoes and couldn't even feel them.  Run
Comments: For the first mile I could not push off. My toes were completely numb and I couldn't get a rhythm at all. I was finally able to settle in and was sucking wind hardcore by the end. Finally with about 1.25 miles left to go the guy who won my AG ran by. He was CRUISING...I kept him in site for about two minutes. As soon as we hit the hills on the trail, he was gone. Happy to have led my AG race until this point, I checked my rearview mirror and cruised into the finish strong. Post race
Warm down: soaked the legs in the cold lake and had some brunch. What limited your ability to perform faster: Limited swim training and not toughing it out. It's all in my head. Event comments: This race is just awesome....great venue and great people. Post race food is AWESOME. Last updated: 2013-06-17 12:00 AM

Veteran 487 Nova Scotia, Canada | Subject: RE: Eastman Splash, Mash & Dash Sprint Triathlon You are a brave man, water is still a little too cold for me. I order my wetsuit next week. Kudos to you on a great race, I would of had numb feet on that run as well. |

Expert 2380 Mastic Beach, NY | Subject: RE: Eastman Splash, Mash & Dash Sprint Triathlon Jonathan great race for a guy who hasn't been training much lately. Geez I hate to see what you'd do if you got some more training time in. Seriously great effort and congrats for finishing 2nd in your AG. Sounds like it was a tough race with the feet going numb but you got done. |

Master 3486 Fort Wayne | Subject: RE: Eastman Splash, Mash & Dash Sprint Triathlon Looks like a solid race to me. Well, actually it looks like 2 solid races but I'm not seeing well right now. All things considered with the time you have been taking I think you had a good performance. The bike would be easy to see where you would have disappointment knowing how well you perform on the bike normally. Either way, to get 2nd in AG has to be satisfying, so a big Congratulations!! |

| NH | Subject: RE: Eastman Splash, Mash & Dash Sprint Triathlon Great race Jonathan. Great effort, especially on the run and given the training you've been able to get in. That's a great run on a pretty difficult course which is absolutely a few tenths longer than a 5k. And I know you are just saying that about the bike because I beat your time - I saw you hammering out there! JK, you'd have crushed me if you laid down the wood. I will take credit for adding a few seconds to your T1 with my distracting talking, thereby giving you some added rest before the bike started. |

| Subject: RE: Eastman Splash, Mash & Dash Sprint Triathlon Congratulations on your podium spot, Jonathan! Think of what you could've done without your recent eye problems and lower training volume. Wow - your tri season is off to a great start! I'm happy for you!
