Swim
Comments: After i caught my breath it wasn't a bad swim at all. But i started at the back to give myself another few seconds. Was drafting someone out to the bouy, then they just disappeared. Tried to get on other peoples feet but wasn't all that successful. Transition 1
Comments: Not fantastic, but much more respectable than last time. Bike
Comments: I thought i was racing decently. I think my legs were still a little spent from the week of training. think i did well taking advantage of my MTB riding skills. The hills were still tough and there was a lot of soft stuff on the trails. My big ass tires felt like they were going through mud a lot of the time. What would you do differently?: Maybe try bringing the hard tail to see if that's any better on this course. Transition 2
Comments: eh - better, well much much better than the last time when i was doing surgery on my feet in T2. Could be better. Run
Comments: A pretty solid run, until i tripped over a root at the bottom of a hill with about a 1/2 mile to go. Took a pretty good tumble. Got back up and going okay, but it kind of kills the rhythm. Especially at the bottom of a hill that i had to go up the next hill from a standstill. What would you do differently?: not trip? pick up my feet? Post race
Warm down: shower What limited your ability to perform faster: did a pretty good volume of training throughout the week. wanted to throw in a race for some fun. It was that. Last updated: 2014-07-20 12:00 AM
