Swim
Comments: mabye a bit too easy? not bad. What would you do differently?: be a bit more aggressive during the middle portion of the swim. Transition 1
Comments: fricken zipper stuck on the wetsuit. i could not for the life of me get the zipper undone. ran all the way to my bike still fiddling with the zipper. and then stood there for another 2 minutes. i think the zipper got some neoprene stuck in it. What would you do differently?: make sure to zip my own zipper. try the zipper prior to starting the swim. more body glide on the feet. Bike
Comments: took it pretty easy, felt decent. What would you do differently?: hit it a bit harder. Transition 2
Comments: meh. slow ish. What would you do differently?: more practice Run
Comments: hot(to me). could not really get the heart rate up. had some negative thoughts, but overall not too bad. What would you do differently?: more running training. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: there has been zero speedwork in my workouts. but im not focusing on oly's this summer. overall this truly was just another training workout for me. 4 hours on the bike the day prior to the race really took the "pop" out of my legs. it is a great waypoint on the way to my ironman, however i feel that i could end up being fairly competitive in oly distance races if i focused on it. I really feel that i could have put in a 2:10-2:15 time in if i had spent a bit more time on speedwork. Next year! Event comments: good food. could have used a bit more transition space. i noticed that the organizers ended up putting up some more halfway though the transition open time in the morning.
