 Swim
Comments: The current was pushing a bit left to right and I found myself off course a few time and had to swim back to the buoy line. Probably cost me a minute or two, but no big deal. What would you do differently?: Not a whole lot, pretty happy with the swim.  Transition 1
Comments: Wetsuit strippers were great. What would you do differently?: nothing  Bike
Comments: I was undertrained on the bike and knew that coming in. The bike felt really hard and I found myself having to pull back on the effort level to save my legs for the run. I also was not as comfortable in aero as I had not spent any time on the tri bike prior to the race. What would you do differently?: ride more Transition 2
Comments: none What would you do differently?: nothing  Run
Comments: This was a tough run for me as I was getting hot and starting to fade. Basically, like Galveston last year but not as fast because of the weak bike legs. I was slowing the last laps and really lacked the energy to pick the pace back up. I had wanted to run a 1:32-1:35 and just missed that. What would you do differently?: bike more to have better run legs Post race
Warm down: None What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of training. This race was meant to be a test of early season fitness and to get me in the mindset to race again going towards IM CDA this summer. It accomplished both goals. It showed me that I need to work on my biking and maintain the other two. Event comments: Another good Endorfun race. The post race food was hard to find, but there was plenty of it once I did. There were reports of tacks being thrown on the bike course and I did see a lot of flats and a few bad crashes, but I also saw lots of sag and medical support so that's good. No one can control the redneck idiots who throw tacks. Last updated: 2011-04-11 12:00 AM

We stayed at my aunt's condo on East Beach and drove to the start. I got there a little later than I should have and jogged into transition from the parking area by Schlitterbahn. GOod warm up. Set up my transition with no problem and had time for everything. I was a later wave so no pressure from time.
Ran from parking to transition.
