Woke up. Ate PB&J, and sipped on Diet Mtn. Dew and G'ade while driving to the race. It was raining pretty hard with lightning on the way to the race.

Good transition.

Comments:

I pushed the pace hard on the bike. Today was my fastest bike split at this course. I probably could have been a little faster if I wouldn't have been messing with my bike computer in the beginning of the bike leg. My speedo wouldn't come on and I wasted some time turning it off and on trying to get it to pick up.
What would you do differently?:

Keep pushing the pace/effort in training.

  • 00m 26s
Comments:

Fastest in AG by over 10 seconds. Looking at the results it appears I was close to fastest of the day overall.
What would you do differently?:

Go faster

  • 07m 12s  min/mile
Comments:

The run was overcast but humid. I was hoping to break 22' but it just didn't happen.
What would you do differently?:

Try to increase my focus on running.
Post race
Warm down:

Sat in the pond, ate some water melon, and drank some g'ade. After I cooled off I ran 3 miles w/ a friend.

Event comments:

Final race of the 2010 Charleston Triathlon Series. I raced in 3 of the five races in the series. I was lucky enough to podium in 2 of the 3 races.
