Swim
What would you do differently?: I went out way to fast and by the first bouy I was beat. I settled my pace down a bit, but pushed the whole way. Transition 1
Comments: I could not get my arms out of my suit until I got the the rippers. What would you do differently?: Get new shoes. Work on getting my arms out of the suit better. Bike
Comments: Only 3 riders passed me on the bike. I averaged 21 MPH and I felt great. I even kept the pace back just a little so I would have legs during the run. I made sure to drink a full bottle of water (which had one pack of hammer gel in it) during the ride. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Transition 2
Comments: I had difficulty getting my socks on and lost my balance a couple of times. I think I must have wasted 30 seconds trying to get my damn bike shoes off and my running socks and shoes on. What would you do differently?: I will get new bike shoes that come off easier and maybe for the shorter distances run without socks. Run
Comments: I pushed this one pretty damn good. I could have maybe given some more, but I was going pretty damn fast for me. I even had a great kick at the end and passed an age grouper. At mile one, I passed a teammate. He asked for the splits. Normally I never would have given this informtion out, but since he was a teammate, I did. Unfortunately, he passed me. He was the only one who passed me during the entire run. What would you do differently?: Pushed harder the last mile, but not sure I had more left. Post race
Warm down: Light stretching. What limited your ability to perform faster: Bike shoes. Ability to jump off bike coming into T2. Event comments: Two years in a row, the timing was not the best. Participants had to wear a huge (I mean huge) timing chip and I saw a lot falling off becuase the straps were garbage. Better luck next year. Last updated: 2011-06-13 12:00 AM
