![]() Swim
Comments: First open water swim, was quite an experience. Never really got into a rhythm and was unable to get in front of the guys that were blocking me. What would you do differently?: Try to find a clearer path ![]() Transition 1
Comments: No problems ![]() Bike
Comments: Back tire went flat at mile 5.5, stopped and changed tube. Many people asked if I was OK and had a tube and air, which I did. Cost me about 7 minutes. Had a good ride besides that. What would you do differently?: Not have a flat. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Forgot my race belt, had to go back. Cost me more time What would you do differently?: Not forget race belt ![]() Run
Comments: Calves were tight the first half mile, rest of the race felt OK What would you do differently?: Nothing ![]() Post race
Warm down: Ate some orange slices, drank water and sat with wife. What limited your ability to perform faster: Try to find some open space in the swim, not have a flat on the bike and not forget my race belt in transition. Event comments: This was only my second race. It was great to get a chance to do an open water swim and I realize how tough these can be. I was happy with my performance. I didn't do much training in the summer due to a hurt knee and back, but hopefully I can stay healthy and put in the training hours required to do a little better in the future.

Had to work Saturday night, so I got a couple hours of sleep and drove to Morgan City. Had a peanut butter sandwich and some choclate milk for breakfast.
Went for a short ride on the bike and a short jog.
