![]() Swim
Comments: I don't think this was a good swim for me, but I did my best. It seemed like it took forever. What would you do differently?: Haven't been swimming much since being back in NJ and it shows. Not swimming with the master for the past month and half has been a drag. Looking forward to getting back to Florida. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: It was a really bad transition day for me. Cut my finger and was bleeding all over the place. Broke my favorite Maui Jim sunglasses and just could not get my act together. ![]() Bike
Comments: Great bike course. Considering the heat I felt really good and pushed hard. Average HR was 184. What would you do differently?: Need more time in the saddle. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Could not get my act together. Was tired, HR was soaring and could not get my running shoes on. ![]() Run
Comments: I did really poorly here. I walked about 90% of the course. They did a great job trying to keep us cool and hydrated, but it was just too hot. My avg HR was 185 for the run, it never went below 177, and I given that, I guess walking was the right thing to do. What would you do differently?: I really need to work on my run... both the physical and mental aspect of it. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Grab a water, pack up and went home. What limited your ability to perform faster: The heat. Although my overall time sucked, I did the best of I could and was proud of the fact that I did the race. I was really having second thoughts considering heat, but I glad I did it! My rankings for the swim and bike are pretty decent and put me above average to average. The run just continues to be a real battle for me. Event comments: Awesome race and course. Having said that, I don't think I would do this race again. Too many participants which make for a late wave start for me. Don't like starting the run at 9:30. I don't understand why they don't start this event an earlier???? Last updated: 2011-06-16 12:00 AM

Got up about 3:30. Had coffee and half pb sandwich.
Walked around a bit and then met up with some people and chatted a while. Waited in the water for about 45 minutes trying to stay cool. I was the 15 wave, so it was about an hour wait.
