![]() Swim
Comments: Best swim ever. I really felt in the groove. What would you do differently?: Just keep working on my swim. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: I took my time in transition to make sure I didn't miss anything. What would you do differently?: Speed up a bit and practice. ![]() Bike
Comments: I went out to hard and knew it. Saltstik also broke so I was without electrolytes. Bad. Cramped at mile 30 and sat on the bubble the rest of the race. What would you do differently?: Better early race pacing. Test gear. Never race with something new. The tablets in my Saltstik were new and they happened to be to big and got stuck. Also I had to change out a cracked stem 2 days before the race and rode the bike a couple of times but not with my aerobar drink bottle. The bottle drug on the front tire the entire race and I didn't know it until I walked the bike back to the truack to go home. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Took time here. I even put on sunscreen. What would you do differently?: Get a small disposable bottle of sunscreen and apply while running. ![]() Run
Comments: Great run for the first 11 miles. I had a blast. What would you do differently?: Keep steady pace all the way until the end. Save the kick for the last bit to ward off any potential contenders. ![]() Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Pacing. Pacing. Pacing. Event comments: Great race. Love the competitors. Last updated: 2010-08-18 12:00 AM

I jogged about 10 min just to get things warmed up. Truth: I forgot my swim cap and had to run back to the transition area and barely made it back to the swim start in time.
None: Show up late and you will be in a hurry.
