 Swim
Comments: Nice course with the first couple hundred yards into the sun. Did a good job of navigation and drafting and tried to monitor my effort but may have gone just a tad too hard. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Transition 1
Comments: No problems, pretty quick. Bit of a long run to the rack from the water. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: Felt pretty good. Passed lots of people on downhills and took the uphills fairly easy to not overextend myself like I usually do. Passed the wife just after the end of the lollipop which was encouraging. What would you do differently?: Take in more calories and make sure to monitor my HR closer. Transition 2
Comments: Ran past the rack due to the huge downhill, took extra time to put on socks. What would you do differently?: maybe skip the socks as I didn't run the run anyway...  Run
Comments: epic fail. jogged failry easy for about the first mile or so trying to get my HR to come down and get comfortable but it just didn't happen. I eventually had to walk on all of the hills and slowly jog on downhills. I took in gels at the 2-4th aid stations which seemed to help and by the last 2 miles I could lightly jog except for the one last hill. Very disspaointing as I was in the best shape I probably ever have been, but it seems like I just ran out of gas. I probably need to start using gels on the bike to make sure I have enough energy for the run and/or monitor my HR more closely though I never felt I was really pushing overly hard at any point during the race. What would you do differently?: Figure out a proper nutrition and pacing strategy. Post race
Warm down: Grabbed a bunch of water and gatorade and walked around for a while. My HR remained elevated for a while. What limited your ability to perform faster: nutrition and pacing. bonked horrifically on the run. Event comments: Great race. Very well run. Scenic and fun course but very challenging. I would do it again and when I do it will be time for payback. Last updated: 2011-03-12 12:00 AM

woke up at 3:30, drove to the race and got there at 4:45 to make sure we got into the park lot. Set up transition and chilled until the race start. Had a bottle of powerade and a powerbar.
