 Swim
Comments: ugh. Not enough swim training, rough surf, overall pretty poor swim What would you do differently?: More ocean swim prep now that I'm not as afraid of sharks, and definitely more swimming in general  Transition 1
Comments: They lost these What would you do differently?: In the rain not much you can do if you want to be a little dry after the swim. I felt like this was pretty quick, considering.  Bike
Comments: This was a damn good ride, right up until I broke a spoke with 2 miles left. Even with the hill on the way out and the headwind on the way back I was averaging close to 16 until I had to slow up some to deal with the broken spoke. It sucked! I may very well have set a personal record on the bike. I knew this was my last race on that wheel, I just wish it could have made it 3 more miles What would you do differently?: Better wheel. I'll have it next year. Plus more training the weeks leading up to the event. Transition 2
Comments: Times missing again. I had another quick transition, but this is the first time I have ever really felt that I was on the bike in the race. Bricks might have helped, but frankly, I'm still getting into running. What would you do differently?: bricks maybe.  Run
Comments: Well, not my best time again because of the splits for the transitions being lost. But I have to say I am super proud of myself. I ran basically the last two miles. Well jogged/shuffled but it's more than I've ever done before consecutively, and it's the next step. I basically gave everything i had for the last race of the year and I was really happy afterwards What would you do differently?: More running training. plus bricks Post race
Warm down: stood around, drank gatorade, ate banana What limited your ability to perform faster: weather, wedding, lack of training, ocean waves, being fat Event comments: more drink stations. good marking on the bike course, but could have used more markers on the run.

This was a little different because I've never done a tri that started so late. Basically pre-race was driving there, having a couple Clif Bars, checking in and getting the bike set up. I drank a G2 and chilled out.
I pulled the wetsuit on and got a little wet before the swim, and walked around. I met jgalvin waiting to get into the surf.
