 Swim
Comments: Water was great, no waves, little current, temp was awesome. This was definitely my best OWS to date, and I was a little surprised how quickly I got into a groove and going. Breathing went well. What would you do differently?: Nothing, I felt great the entire time  Transition 1
Comments: A fairly long run to my bike, and I was feeling a little disoriented. Once I got to my bike, got my shoes on, shirt on partially, helmet on and took off. I was okay with the time. What would you do differently?: Ride with shoes clipped in, but I'm not ready for it yet.  Bike
Comments: The bike is where everything fell apart for me. First, my bike computer was not working, and as usual, my bike wasn't shifting correctly. I started off with a very high HR coming out of the swim, and it took a while to get it down. It was kinda weird being in the front of the race. My group went first for the race, and as far as I know I was 3rd out of transition, so there were only 2 people in front of me. just kinda different. Everything was alright during the race except for a police officer telling me to make a left turn, instead of telling me to go straight. I ended up turning, stopping, then getting back up to speed. I then got passed by 5 people... pissed... On the way into T2, my R shoe fell off. Don't know how. But again I had to stop and pick it up. These may have slowed my overall time quite a bit. What would you do differently?: Not lose my shoe, ignore the po-po, Just ride more in training. I know I need and can improve the most on the bike, and I'm excited to see some increase in speed Transition 2
Comments: Good time, nothing out of the ordinary  Run
Comments: My legs were hurting at the start, but seemed to fade. The hills killed me, though. It was a tougher course, and although I'm not too excited about my time, I did kick at the finish. Just an average time, was hoping to be closer to 7:00 miles. What would you do differently?: more hill preparation Post race
Warm down: trying not to lose my breakfast What limited your ability to perform faster: EQUIPMENT, volunteers, lack of training recently Event comments: I felt like they could have used more volunteers, but everything was great. there was some severe weather in the area during the night that destroyed the site, but they did a good job of getting everything back together.

Spent the night in Topeka, staying at my parents house. Didn't get very good sleep, but I don't think that really effected me. Got up at 5:00am, out the door at 5:20, and was parked by 5:40. Had a bagel with peanut butter, some OJ, and a 1/2 mix of gatorade. I got a good transition spot, one right on the end which made it easy to spot.
Did an easy 1 mile run, and got to swim a little before they kicked everybody out of the water.
