Swim
  • 43m 21s
  • 1500 meters
  • 02m 53s / 100 meters
Comments:

Felt pretty good but getting off course every 200 M adds some time. Comfortable
What would you do differently?:

Might be time to do some masters swim or get a coach this winter to finally get better at swimming.
Transition 1
  • 03m 20s
Comments:

Pissed off about feeling good during the swim and still ending up with a shitty time so I had myself a little pitty party and took too much time in T1
What would you do differently?:

Grow up and stop grousing about sucking at swimming.
Bike

  • 17.50 mile/hr
Comments:

Other than old stage this was a pretty good ride. Hills aside would have averaged 21-22mph. No triple meant no granny gear and when the guy tipped over in front of me I lost all momentum. (Yes I said tipped over, as in had zero momentum. We both laughed about it.) Couldn't get going again so had to walk my bike for about 200 yards to a saddle so I could get back in.
What would you do differently?:

Triple and more hill training. Pretty happy otherwise.
Transition 2
  • 01m 33s
Comments:

Good transition.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Run
  • 55m 53s
  • 6.21 miles
  • 08m  min/mile
Comments:

Got pretty toasty. My first mile was a 9:30 but the last was 7:50 so pretty happy.
What would you do differently?:

More bricks but considering the difficulty of the bike this was ok.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around and stretch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

No formal swim coaching and no triple crank.

Event comments:

Awesome race! I hope WTC runs it just as well next year. The skydivers and pro race were great to see. A great value!
