Swim
Comments: I didn't swim as hard as i thought i was at the time. need to work on a faster arm turnover. What would you do differently?: increase my output. i was cruising and not racing Transition 1
Comments: maybe next time i'll try to put my helmet and glasses on while taking the suit off. just didn't even think of it at the time. Bike
Comments: given the course i'd say i've made a lot of improvement on the bike. i rode it 1 min slower than my fastest from last season. last season was on a mostly flat course. What would you do differently?: nothing. i did all i could do and even though the split doesn't look great the ride was awesome. Transition 2
Comments: had a good transition. not to hard to put a bike up and put shoes on. i stuck my belt in my mouth and started my watch as i hit the mat. then put my watch in my mouth and put my race belt on, then put my watch on. What would you do differently?: wipe the pebbles off the bottom of my feet. Run
Comments: the run was tough. i was out of breath getting on to the bike and then was out of breath getting off the bike. i had to battle a side stitch so i walked twice in the first two miles to slow my breathing and heart rate. seems that at mile 2 my legs kicked in and i was good to go. i have a few stretches in the sub 7 range and ran the back 4 miles at 7:15 avg. with the walking it came out to just sub 7:30 which i'm happy with after that bike course. What would you do differently?: i've got to learn to run the first quarter mile or so SLOW to avoid the spiking heart rate and side stitches. no matter who is passing me. had i done that i believe i could have run some of the guys in front of me down because they were fading and coming back to me but i ran out of course to catch them. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: gigantic hills Event comments: Rev3 does it right! Last updated: 2011-04-11 12:00 AM
