Pre-race routine:

Chris West and I drove to the site from our hotel room, ate a few small bagels and had a clif bar with water. I wasn't feeling too good the night before and didn't feel any better on this morning.
Event warmup:

None.
Swim
  • 07m 48s
  • 437 yards
  • 01m 47s / 100 yards
Comments:

The swim was the worst swim I have done to date. Everything was off, my breathing, my stroke count and my turning. I just wasn't on track at all.
What would you do differently?:

I didn't swim like I normally do, I think it's because it was so short, I thought if I sprinted I would do better. Not so.
Transition 1
  • 02m 19s
Comments:

Again, this is my downfall, bad transitions. This should have been around 1:30 from what I gather. so almost a whole minute could have been saved here.
What would you do differently?:

I don't know yet. Still working on it.
Bike

  • 17.21 mile/hr
Comments:

Still felt pretty sick so I guess that says it all. I could have done better if I felt better I think. But I did what I could
Transition 2
  • 01m 10s
Comments:

No comment. Need to work on all areas of transition.
What would you do differently?:

I just need to focus on doing it fast and telling myself that I can rest later.
Run
  • 23m 31s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 34s  min/mile
Comments:

Not bad. When I got off the bike I seriously thought I was going to puke, but told myself to run anyway. So about a quarter mile in, I started to feel a little better.
Post race
Warm down:

Jogged for a quarter mile. Massage

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Sick
