Comments:

an okay swim for me, not great. They wouldn't let us warmup at the start so I was treading water and doing some small strokes to get ready before the gun went off.
What would you do differently?:

sight a little more often, swim faster!
Transition 1

Comments:

fairly average t1, not too bad
What would you do differently?:

jogged a bit faster
Bike

Comments:

a cooler day, took in less water on the bike and I think that's the call, especially a sprint distance. Getting blown around pretty good.
What would you do differently?:

I would have loved to have a look at the course beforehand, but what can you do? Didn't have a clue what was around the next bend or corner.
Transition 2
  • 00m 48s
Comments:

pretty decent t2
Run
  • 21m
  • 3 miles
  • 07m  min/mile
Comments:

couldn't find my legs until around the 1.5 mile mark. A little cold coming off the bike, I think. Gelled up and felt better. Definitely negative split this one.
What would you do differently?:

Wish I could have started out a little stronger, would have moved me up considerably.
Post race
Warm down:

coffee!! try to get out of the rain.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

haven't been able to train much lately.

Event comments:

I'll be back. The only thing I can knock them for is not letting us have a swim warm up.
