  • 01m 45s / 100 meters
Comments:

Swim start was tough. I couldn't see anything in front of me because of the sun and fogginess of goggles. I was tickling many feet along the way. AFter the first bouy, it was clear sailing.
What would you do differently?:

I don't think I could do anything different except if I was rude and insisted on being in the front. It's not that important.

I forgot how long it takes to put on socks. That's next year's goal--different cycling and running shoes to help with that.
What would you do differently?:

see above.

I think I could have done more on the bike but with the Warrior Dash the day before, I wanted to make sure I had something left for the run. I did notice a nice time imporvement over last year (generally speaking, but is it new bike or engine related?)

Ack. need to practice. Haven't done it yet this year.

My legs were feeling it on the way back. They were burning from the day before... I'd do it the same way again, though!
Post race
Warm down:

Waited for all the superheroes and made lots of new friends through BT and in general being a caped superhero. I'll do my best to get pics up.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The day before--warrior dash

Event comments:

HFP is solid in its events. Nothing extravagant, but everything you need for a good time. This will be an annual event for me.
