  • 500 yards
  • 01m 43s / 100 yards
Comments:

Not a bad swim never was redlining at all not much contact just around buoys and was strong coming home. Anytime I pop out of the water under 8 minutes I'm happy. Bad: I tore my wetsuit around the calf putting it on in a hurry.
What would you do differently?:

don't get lost arrive on time and get a proper warm up. Drive the pace a little more
Transition 1

What would you do differently?:

not wear socks just lube up the feet, trail run without socks scared me

solid bike, had some slower miles due to lack of fitness on the bike, never was passed. Like the course the rollers keep everyone honest.
What would you do differently?:

nothing, rode hard just need more time on the bike

Comments:

Very muddy, fell down around mile 1 and it really slowed me down. Felt good during the run but was scared to go faster with the condition of the trail. Even walked one hill to make sure I didn't fall again.
What would you do differently?:

not much I'm not a good trail runner and it was just to muddy for me to go any faster
Post race
Warm down:

none

What limited your ability to perform faster:

weather conditions,lack of bike training, and muddy trails

Event comments:
