 Swim
Comments: Swim felt great. Good form. I followed the buoy ropes for the first 1/3, then drafted. I passed several people, drafting with a few for most of the race. I would draft for 10 minutes or so, pass, and then draft someone else. Turn-around was clean. Nobody ran into me, except for one minor collision. Mentally, I felt great and felt better and better as the swim progressed. I enjoyed it a lot. What would you do differently?: Swim slower?? Pacing will be something to research more for next season.  Transition 1
Comments: I COULD NOT FIND MY TRANSITION AREA!! The one mistake I made twice, was not remembering "where I parked." What would you do differently?: Remember where I parked.  Bike
Comments: Felt great most of the way. I was passing a lot of people. Wind was heavy--so heavy it was like going uphill. Orca Trisuit What would you do differently?: Again...Bike slower?? Also, perhaps eat more during the bike. More food during the bike portion of the race could have had me in better shape for the run. Transition 2
Comments: Still got lost, but not as bad as T-1. Lock laces made running shoe installation a breeze. Momentarily got lost on the way out. Orca Trisuit What would you do differently?: AGAIN.....Remember where I parked and where to exit.  Run
Comments: 2nd half was difficult. The last 5k were the longest 5k I have ever run in my life. Unlike the previous portions where I was passing a lot of people, I was being passed a lot. I feel that I may have lost what I gained earlier in the day. --BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME CROSSING THE BRIDGE INTO THE FINAL STRETCH, was a god moment. What would you do differently?: Maybe rethink my pacing and nutrition. But I would not want to give up the edge I had during the swim and bike portions of the race. Also, maybe I could have balanced the day another way as to have more energy during the run. Post race
Warm down: Walked around for ca. 5 minutes. Stretched out--legs, calves, knees, thighs, and ass. Also upper body and back bends. What limited your ability to perform faster: Possibly nutrition and not enough training on the EDGE. Also, maybe I could have balanced the day another way as to have more energy during the run. Event comments: Shuttle bus was not good--too far of a walk back to the site. Could have had a little more guidance with the entrance and exits and course. But was not so bad.
