Comments:

The course was long...I do not swim that slow...and every other person I talked to said it was long.
What would you do differently?:

On these super short swims (even though it was long ;) ) I find it to be a free for all....it is tough to find a rythem

Comments:

Pushed this harder than I should have..my legs were burning and I had planned on keeping it easy


What would you do differently?:

I guess in the end it didn't really hurt me to go hard...should have taken my aero bottle though because I drank zero

  • 01m 25s
Run
  • 23m 2s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 25s  min/mile
Comments:

Not the best run for me...it had gotten super hot and humid...drank nothing on the bike and too much on the run course. Had to stop and walk for a couple of seconds..puked right after I crossed the finnish line :(
What would you do differently?:

Rememebered to drink earlier and remembered to take my endurolytes....this should have been more like a 7:20 pace
Post race
Warm down:

Drank more water..walked around some

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The weather was a huge factor. Our spring has been so cool and to go race in 85 degree, hot humid weather was just tough! Normally I wouldn't use that as an excuse but the local racers did have that as an advantage.

Still very happy with my performance

Event comments:

Very well run race...except that they really need to measure the course right!
