Swim
Comments: Got kicked a few times....swallowed a lot of water....breathing was way off. May have started out too fast? What would you do differently?: Get a comfortable pace and maybe stay away from people a little more? Transition 1
Comments: Took a little extra time catching my breath. It was a long run up the dock to transition. What would you do differently?: Have to get my socks and shoes on more quickly. Bike
Comments: Strong bike....very pleased. What would you do differently?: Not much. I think I pushed hard enough so that I had just enough left for a strong run. Transition 2
Comments: Lost my shoe when I jumped off my bike!! Quickly recovered though. Racked bike and threw on my shoes and race belt. Had a top 5 transition time, but think it could be faster if I run with my race belt and put it on on the course? What would you do differently?: Don't drop your shoe! Run
Comments: Ran strong....on the second climb started to get mild cramping in my quads. Finished a Goo to get me through. What would you do differently?: Not much? Pretty strong and since I started to get real tight at the end, don't know if I had much left? Maybe could have started my acceleration to the finish sooner. Use the crowd to take me in. Post race
Warm down: Water immediately, walked. Gatorade, walked and shower. Headed back to finish line to wait for Alyssa. What limited your ability to perform faster: Swim really was my weakest link, again! Not sure if I could have had a better bike or run at this point in my race career. Event comments: Swim waves started a little late. Felt kind of rushed at the start.

5 hour energy made me a little jittery, but once I got in the water I was fine. We swam about 100 yards pre race
100 yard swim (aprox) Lots of dynamic stretching
