Swim
Comments: Decision not to wear the wetsuit was a good one. Water felt very warm and I would have been hot. Water was so calm - best conditions I've ever seen at this race. What would you do differently?: Maybe start a little more toward the front Transition 1
Comments: mount line was crowded and I had trouble getting started because there were slower people in front of me. Otherwise a nice easy fast transition What would you do differently?: mount more toward front Bike
Comments: I was very happy with my pace but I probably could have pushed it a little more. The last mile was crowded with people doing the sprint who wouldn't let you pass so that slowed me down a bit What would you do differently?: practice more turning to become more confident Transition 2
Comments: again, crowded entering the transition area and I got stuck between two people who were chatting. Did good with focusing just on getting my shoes on and leaving the hat and number belt for when I was actually running. What would you do differently?: this is the only stage in which I was slower than in previous years (although only by 3 seconds). Maybe zip laces. But otherwise good Run
Comments: not sure why my pace got so much slower. I did slow down for water several times . There was not a lot of shade on the course so I was getting hot. What would you do differently?: Not sure - probably start training to do negative splits Post race
Warm down: walk around What limited your ability to perform faster: Age and genetics :) I felt great after this race and was happy with how I had trained. Event comments: Love this race! So organized and fun. They may need to alter the sprint a little to keep them from merging with the olympic participants on the bike - it got very crowded toward the end. Great volunteers, too, especially at the finish! Last updated: 2016-02-02 12:00 AM

woke up, grabbed transition bag and walked from hotel to transition. Set up transition, talked to friends, ate yogurt and Hammer Gel.
None other than getting in water to validate my decision not to wear a wetsuit.
