Pre-race routine:

Comments:

Started strong, feeling good, felt good the whole time, but my sighting was atrocious
What would you do differently?:

Stop sucking at sighting, it was calm, I even sighted often, but my lines were bad bad bad.

Comments:

Good effort on the bike, held 215 average watts. I was happy with that all around. I was lacking strength and potentially could have pushed harder on a normal day.
Transition 2
  • 00m 31s
Comments:

Good transition, smooth, moved well.
Run
  • 20m 2s
  • 3 miles
  • 06m 41s  min/mile
Comments:

Great effort on the run, another breakthrough, could have pushed the second mile harder, but overall it was good
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

No excuses, has been a busy week, and very little sleep the 2 nights prior plus being physically exhausted from being in the heat those days added up. Great race despite all of this.

Event comments:

Race is nothing special, outside of size. It was not bad, but yet another Vacation Sports race. Distances not true, clusterf*ck with ranking, Somehow I went from 1st AG15-20 minutes after I finished, to 2nd an hour later, and tonight it shows 3rd... something is jacked up with the system, regardless, my time was awesome.
