Swim
Comments: Swim was last (reverse tri). Pool was a complete cluster, ran into a number of people hanging out at the ends of lanes. Frustrating experience. Was completely hypoxic in the first 50, then mellowed out. Had to swim behind a breast stroker for about 100, could not pass. Transition 1
What would you do differently?: this is for T2, bike to swim transition, which went well. Wore flip flops from bike to the pool - this was a good move, as T2 is very long. Bike
Comments: Fast bike - lost my straw early on the bike and had no water after that. Ate sport beans for the remainder, this worked out fine. Felt pretty powerful. However, when I rolled into T2, my legs didn't work well. May have hammered a bit ;-) Transition 2
Comments: This is for T1, run to bike transition. Transition went well, no major issues. Run
Comments: may have held the throttle a bit low, though I didn't think so at the time. What would you do differently?: go a bit faster. Post race
Event comments: race timing needs chip start as well as finish. There were 3 waves this year (a change), and it's clear from the results that some were in the wrong wave. Last updated: 2009-05-12 12:00 AM
