Comments:

Could taste the gasoline from some of the powered boats, but other than that it was a great swim.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Transition 1
  • 01m 17s
Comments:

Had trouble getting my feet into my shoes on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

My feet were very sandy and it made it difficult to get my feet into my shoes. I rubbed some bodyglide on the inside of my shoes before the race, but it wasn't enough. I guess I needed to wipe my feet after the swim.
Bike
  • 1h 17m 54s
  • 25 miles
  • 19.26 mile/hr
Comments:

Not prepared for the mileage or hills.
What would you do differently?:

I expected to struggle because my training was for a sprint and I pushed it for the olympic. I just need to log more miles on the bike and do more hills.
Transition 2
  • 01m 33s
Comments:

Pretty good transition.
Run
  • 47m 55s
  • 6.2 miles
  • 07m 44s  min/mile
Comments:

Tough run. I'm happy with my pace though.
What would you do differently?:

I knew that I was just going to have to hang on. I only ran over 6 miles twice before the race. I was only training for a sprint, so obviously if I'm going to do Olympic's I'm gonna need to increase the mileage.
Post race
Warm down:

Gatorade and some much needed food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Didn't do enough mileage because I was training for a sprint and decided to do the Olympic and few weeks ago.

Event comments:

This is a very well run race at a great venue. Highly recommended.
