![]() Swim
Comments: The swim was one of the most congested swims I have ever done. It started onthe beach and everyone ran into the water. It seemed like it bottlenecked early. Alot of people should have been more to the back, I noticed that alot of people stopped to sight the buoy. the first leg was just tough to find a line to swim, I got sucked into the inside near the buoy, which I did not want to be. Finally I had to just lower my head and drive through everything. Second buoy on was a good swim. What would you do differently?: start more outside and find a line to swim that first leg easier. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: This was by far my best transition ever. I ran up the mats, jumped in the wade pool to clean feet and grabbed my stuff and was gone. What would you do differently?: nothing, hope to do the same. ![]() Bike
Comments: The bike route was down and back, but it had me ridinghard. Some places i hit 40 mph, others I was doing 8 mph. Since it was down and back, it was nice to know what was coming up. I really thought I was doing alot worse than I did on the bike and thought i blew my time goal. What would you do differently?: more saddle time ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Another great transition for, something I had been going over in my head for awhile. I was able to get out of my shoes and pedal for the last 100 yards or so, which really felt good. What would you do differently?: nada ![]() Run
Comments: The run was something I have been working on, wanting to get faster. I kept looking for the 1 mile marker I saw the day before and nefore I knew it, I was at the turn around point, which was a big boost. i knew I still had time to make my goal if I kept it up. Coming backinto the park, I was not aware of the additional 1/4 mile around the park to get to the finish line! What would you do differently?: keep pushing ![]() Post race
Warm down: banannas, Gatorade, coke, and family. What limited your ability to perform faster: frustration on the swim portion Event comments: Really enjoyed this race, wanted to do it last year, but the hurricanes cancelled it. i will be back next year to this race or maybe the HIM the have the day before.

Got up and stretched, I stayed with my parents, so I double checked everything. The day before my father and I went out and drove the bike and run course.
Ate a bagel and drank some Gatorade. Got out to the event early an got set-up. My parents and family were at the race, so I tried to not get to nervous!
