Rough start, got caught up with a bunch of guys and could not break free. Terrible start, no form for first 5mins.
What would you do differently?:

Warm up, start a little away from everyone else.

Comments:

Ok, should have pushed past Tim H. who I was yo-yoing with. Need to get out of swim/T1 faster and ride with the faster guys. Both legs (hammies and calves) cramped some.
Transition 2
  • 00m 53s
Comments:

Terrible, could not move fast and could not get shoes on smoothly. Lost 30s or so...prolly pissed away a placing.
What would you do differently?:

Get shoes on faster
Run
  • 23m 50s
  • 3.9 miles
  • 06m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

Ran without socks for first time; felt ok until shoe top began to cut into right foot near end. Ran pretty strong, but made mistake and let #5 get out too far before thinking about reeling him in. Which is a pity, b/c for 90% of the race we ran the same pace.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bad T2, bad weather.

Event comments:

Good race, terrible weather. I pretty much limited my chances for a higher placing with a bad T2 and some questionable run tactics.
