Comments:

I hate how they did the timing for this thing. there was a hella long run to T1. I hit my HRM with 3 sec to go at start, crossed the mat out of the water at 6:22 and they got me for a 8:11! they got me for almost 2 min. of running across the beach. yea everyone had it but i think they should have had that as T1 time and not starting T1 at another mat going into T1
What would you do differently?:

I had a pretty good swim, started pretty close to center cut but it only took till the first turn and we lost a lot of people off the lead pack
Transition 1
  • 01m 30s
Comments:

things went a lot better with the skin suit this time, had it down to knees by time i hit my bike. did have a piece of paper with peoples race # in my L shoe so had to take it back off to remove.
What would you do differently?:

i need to get a new helmet mine gave me some troubles with the straps but thats it things rolled pretty good

Comments:

i feel i could have had a much better ride. kinda disappointed with todays times

did have a first, took a drink and nothing stayed down. feel bad about the people i was passing at the time but i had no place to put it but down the side. that was right before the first time over the causeway that is what made me miss gears, gagging with puke will do that
What would you do differently?:

i needed to hit the little ring on the lap out over the causeway, first time over i stayed in big ring and learned real quick i was gonna change for coming back over
Transition 2
  • 00m 53s
Comments:

i came in HOT like i jumped off that bike and it was moving at a good clip. the path heading into T2 was narrow and there was a lady who needed to move she looked and seen me but just not in time and we kinda met a little but i ended up running over the cones and not into her
What would you do differently?:

PUSH that bike harder, i know im faster just need not to relax on these short races and GO
Run
  • 21m 6s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 06m 47s  min/mile
Comments:

this was another bad part to the day, was expecting maybe a 20min but not a 21. i knew it was coming, was watching the HRM and times were just not adding up
What would you do differently?:

my first 2 miles seemed to be the slowest not that i didnt feel good think i was just in one of them cruising modes
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

letting the mind relax i will say, just didnt have the charge going

Event comments:
