 Swim
Comments: I was happy with my swim. I stayed a little to the outside so it added some time, but stayed away from other swimmers. There seemed to be a lot of fast swimmers in my wave as well. The cold water really effects my swim, both breathing and power. What would you do differently?: More open water swimming.  Transition 1
Comments: They didnt track transition times. But overall, I was happy with T1. Wet suit came off fairly easily (no wetsuit strippers). I also still put on my cycling shoes in T1. I also dont do a running mount. Maybe something to practice this off season.  Bike
Comments: Transition times are included in official bike time. Had a little trouble getting into the big ring at the start and took a mile to get HR to lower a bit before I settled in. Only 2 people past me. One of my team mates at the beginning and then another person on the final mile. There was a lot of headwind once you turned onto the ocean road and slowed me down a bit. I felt a lot of lactic acid in my legs. Overall, I was happy with my bike, especially since I still use a road bike. What would you do differently?: Look at starting in big ring. Work on running start. Transition 2
Comments: Transition times not posted. Mounted bike on rack, took off helmet and shoes. Put on running shoes and off I went. I ran the long way out of the transition area though and could have saved another 10-15 seconds (could have put me under my goal of 1:15). What would you do differently?: learn quickest way to exists before start.  Run
Comments: Running is still my weakest leg. Legs felt stiff. Was happy with negative splits though. Not sure I could have gone any faster either. What would you do differently?: more running in off season. Post race
Warm down: Walked around. Drank water and then made a Hammer Recoverite. What limited your ability to perform faster: I am not a fast runner. Event comments: I would do this race again next year if it fits in my schedule. Last updated: 2010-09-25 12:00 AM

I wasn't planning on doing this race and thought my season was over after Lobsterman, but a friend talked me into doing this the night before and my earlier plans had changed. There were still slots available so I decided to give it try.
Woke up at 4:45am, took a quick shower, ate a bowl of cereal and made a cup of coffee for the road. Arrived at Wallis Sands Park in Rye, NH at 6:15am. Transition area and registration were still being set up.
Put on wetsuit and walked over to start areas. This was another ocean swim. Went for a quick warm up swim to get acclimated to the cold water (60). Ate Gel right before start.
