Comments:

Felt stronger than usual. Fastest pace ever in a sprint! Decided last minute to forgo the wetsuit. Glad I did as my last wetsuit sprint pace was slower.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Transition 1
  • 02m 15s
Comments:

Fastest run out of the water and out of transition that I've ever done. No wetsuit helped with T1 speed but struggled a bit with getting socks on.
What would you do differently?:

Dry my feet off better before attempting to put socks on.

Best I've ever felt on the bike during a race. Passed many more people than usual and was passed by much fewer so that was a big confidence boost.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

One of my best T2's.

Comments:

Fastest sprint run pace to date. Very happy with my pace, pushed extremely hard to maintain it.
What would you do differently?:

Back off a little in the first half mile. Felt like I was going to puke or passout for the entire last mile.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing today!

Event comments:

Would have preferred more than just fruit, granola bars and pizza for post race food. I like non-sugarly/non-fatty carbs like prezels, bagels, bananas. Stomach can't handle too much sugar or fat right after a race.
