Comments:

Not good sighting. Not good rounding bouys. Started way to fast.
What would you do differently?:

Need to race my own race and slow a bit.
Transition 1
  • 01m 17s
Comments:

HR was sky high due to to hard of swim. Helmet went on faster than anticipated/practiced. Shoes on quickly. Did not get feet clicked in for quite some time....no worries, maybe lost 5 seconds because of it.
Sunglasses need to go by watch, not on helmet.
Slowest T1 out of the TOP 10 finishers.
What would you do differently?:

SLOWER SWIM WOULD HAVE HELPED....by not being out of breath

  • 11.75 miles
  • 21.96 mile/hr
Comments:

Went to hard. Stomache was cramping during some/most of bike due to hard swim. Just about wrecked at "S" curve due to speed. Went to hard up the hill after becoming leader.
10th overall (396)
2:22 behind best bike time (2:08 behind Aleks) 1:16 behind 6th place
What would you do differently?:

Ease yourself into the run. I was already blown up!!!!
Transition 2
  • 01m 9s
Comments:

Everything was good except the bike that fell over as I was putting mine in the rack...took the time to set his up since I felt it was my fault.
What would you do differently?:

This transition would be considered good. It won't look fast due to setting up the other guys bike....

One of slowest in top 10 overall.... 4th slowest of top 15 finishers
Run
  • 22m 7s
  • 3 miles
  • 07m 22s  min/mile
Comments:

Coudn't breath very well. Stomache continued to feel tight/cramped. Never did feel comfortable running today...
What would you do differently?:

Need to run more / go easier on the swim and bike if I want to run sub 7:00 !!!!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked a bit and drank some water/ gatorade

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough training at that speed....went way to fast and had to high of expectations (even though I hit my time goal)....wierd I know...

Event comments:

KLM still doesn't do a post race ceremony. Probably never will. We actually started 5 minutes ahead of time which was nice.
