  • 4224 yards
  • 01m 47s / 100 yards
Comments:

No wetsuit, still beasted this. The first mile was crowded from the mass start, so I had little space to stretch out, but whatever. Eventually things improved and I could relax. My core temp was low after 1.5 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Wear a wetsuit?

Remember a towel

Comments:

Got passed a lot early in the bike, but came back and took them all back and then some. Thought I took this out too hard, because goal pace was 6:30, but turned out 5:45 was just fine!
What would you do differently?:

Train more miles and hills on the bike to kick more butt!

Comments:

Meh. I took my time to make sure I was set for the run.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really.

Comments:

Can't believe I maintained such a great pace after that hard of a bike. Couldnt have done it without the aid stations and people cheering me on though. Ice helped A LOT!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Water. Stood in Lake Erie afterwards. Ate food. Slept.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

A wetsuit for the swim? An aero helment for the bike? More run miles instead of being handicapped most of the year with plantar fasciitis?

Event comments:

Props to REV3, lots of awesome things to say. Plenty of support, lots of friendly people cheering us on, very organized race, was never lost en route. Great times!

Performance: Good
Wind: Some
Course: Flat with some mild hills. Most of the road was smooth, but there were about 15-20 miles with rough road. I never got passed going up any hills, and passed many, many people up hills. Training in the mountains of Alaska really helped me on these, and my recovery time at the top of hills was fast compared to other athletes who were pooped at the top. Now I know what to do for future training: even more hills!
