  • 03m 08s / 100 meters
Comments:

decent swim...took almost 6 minutes off last year. It was mildly choppy on the way out, then it got nice. Never pushed it, never felt out of control.
What would you do differently?:

other than actually train in swimming, nothing.
Transition 1
  • 04m 48s
Comments:

took my time to get HR down, put on some extra clothes and drink a little....lots of sand made me take my time...sand out of swim was 4-5 inched deep, so I had a lot of cleaning to do.
What would you do differently?:

get in shape and sprint

Comments:

kept in comfortable but pushed it too...best bike I have done in a while as far as intelligence. Could I have pushed it harder? Sure, but at what price?
What would you do differently?:

nothing

Comments:

a little slow here, but no too bad overall
What would you do differently?:

hurry

  • 3.1 miles
  • 09m 35s  min/mile
Comments:

decent run, nothing special...just kept on plugging, never walked.
What would you do differently?:

get a lot faster. :)
Post race
Warm down:

got water and headed home; race did not have a big post-race presence, but since I travel and race alone, this does not affect me much.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

need to run a lot faster

Event comments:

Race started just a little over a half hour late, so that threw off my pre-race swim acclimation a bit. Overall I was very happy though. Took 20 minutes off my race time from last year and got below 1:20 in a sprint for the first time ever. :)
