Swim
Comments: Poor navigation. Trying to stay away from hitting swimmers turned into me being 50 yards outside course pretty much the entire loop. Lost lots of time. What would you do differently?: Stay close to the pack. Transition 1
Comments: Ran past people trying to get into their clip less pedals. Was OK mounting the bike. Was pretty clumsy getting into shoes though. What would you do differently?: Nothing Bike
Comments: Dropped a chain when shifting up hill. Had to get off bike and put the chain back on the chain ring. Rained hard on the section with fast descent. Had to bleed some speed to avoid crash. What would you do differently?: Not much. Better shifting? Transition 2
Comments: Went well, except I had to get on the other side of the bike rack to get stuff I needed. Could've shaved some seconds by trying to squeeze in between the bikes to get my stuff. Socks and shoes were drenched in the rain. :( Run
Comments: Strongest leg of the whole race. Was pretty comfortable, except I had to use a port-a-potty once to urinate. What would you do differently?: Not much. Post race
Warm down: Ate the chicken, green beans, potato salad, and coleslaw they had after the race. Had some grapes too. Walked around after eating. Didn't stretch my legs until I got my bike back into my car. What limited your ability to perform faster: Biking 45 miles and running 9 miles day before this race might have limited my speed. Wouldn't have skipped my training for my "A" race though. Event comments: Great race and close to home. Can't beat that combination. I like the food selection after the race. Very easy to find your finish time after the race. Pretty nifty. Last updated: 2014-10-13 12:00 AM

Hang out at Fall For Greenville the night before. Didn't really eat anything "healthy" per say. Chicken pita, Hamburger sliders, hibachi steak, and beer. Wake up at 4:30 in the morning, ate banana and yogurt.
Nothing. Maybe some foot shuffle to keep myself warm in the rain. Tried to inflate a tire and couldn't work the pump. Ended up with leaky rear tube at the stem. Had bike mechanic change my tube before they closed T1. Raining a lot before the start and used restroom in lieu of swim warmup.
