Comments:

Bad navigation, bad freesyle form, bad breathing....an overall disaster. Good thing it was shorter than advertised!
What would you do differently?:

Gotta get in the pool more.

Comments:

I have no clue what I was doing......that is a LONG TIME! My wife was talking to me and it was a bit distracting.
What would you do differently?:

Tell my wife to leave me alone, and just get my dang bike and ride.

Comments:

Could have pushed a bit harder.
What would you do differently?:

Pushed harder.
Transition 2
  • 01m 54s
Comments:

They had a timing malfunction, but my Garmin said the time was 1:54....too SLOW!
What would you do differently?:

Go faster, I guess
Run
  • 33m 13s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 10m 43s  min/mile
Comments:

I think that the T2 time is piled in with the run time. I had my Garmin on and I had the T2 @ 1:54 and run @ ~32.....I usually run a lot faster than that, but the heat on Northshore bridge was BAD!
What would you do differently?:

Just quit whining about the heat and run.
Post race
Warm down:

Banana.......and sitting in a fire ant bed.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nerves....fear

Event comments:

I liked the race....I'll be there next year, but I only live 5 minutes away. Hopefully, they will work out timing and course issues next year.
