Comments:

Started breathing every 2nd stroke around 500y. That makes me mad!
What would you do differently?:

Sight better and keep with my bilateral breathing even if I have to slow it down a bit.
Transition 1
  • 02m 44s
Comments:

I must not take time to put on do-rag! I need to be more serious about my T1!
What would you do differently?:

go faster and cut out do-rag... buy better shoes that don't need socks.

Comments:

Had a great time. Met up with 280 ("40") around mile 5 and played leapfrog the rest of the course. I could've pushed harder at times but took 280's lead and backed off at least twice.
What would you do differently?:

Take no prisoners. Train more. I know I can kill on this discipline.
Transition 2
  • 01m 27s
Comments:

Could've been a little faster.
What would you do differently?:

Take T2 more seriously.

Comments:

Didn't push much. I could easily talk through this run. I'm just not pushing my limits once I get to my run portion.
What would you do differently?:

Work harder. Hurt more.
Post race
Warm down:

Hung out with Whit,Shannon, and Adam. Went to Toast to have some seriously good banana nut pancakes...excellent!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Frankly, 1) heaviest day of my period, 2) nasty allergy/cold snot-laden sinuses 2) messed up bowels, but everything else was great.

Event comments:

Good race. May do it again. It's ashame the bike course had to change but it seems it was unavoidable.
