Swim
Comments: Got tangled in the first buoy's rope! Then got kicked a couple times and climbed on, otherwise it was a very solid swim, I was happy with it, though no drafting occurred since I couldn't find anyone good to draft off of, also sighting was tricky since the course had us staring into the sun. What would you do differently?: Not get tangled in the rope! Maybe try to draft better. Transition 1
Comments: My bike had fallen over during the swim, doh! So had to stand it back up... also took a while to get the sand off my feet and into my bike shoes, cost me precious time. What would you do differently?: Make sure my bike is secured properly, maybe try the elastic bands to hold the bike shoes on the pedals so I can just put them on on the bike course... I'll have to practice it. Bike
Comments: YES! I finally averaged over 20 mph!! Though it was a short course, I still am happy since it shows that all the bike practicing has been paying off. The hills were tackled very well, I'm quite happy with this result. Though was dehydrated a bit, couldn't keep my fluids in during the bike, puked a few times. What would you do differently?: Bike harder! Try not to puke all my water up. Transition 2
Comments: Had some issues dismounting and some issues getting shoes on right. What would you do differently?: Not put the lock laces on the night before, also practice dismounting. Run
Comments: It was a hot, hard run, probably because I left most of my water on the bike course. Pushed it real hard though, all my running practice has paid off big time! What would you do differently?: Splash water on myself during the run to stay cool Post race
Warm down: Walked around the beach and drank water, checked out the NRG Bar stand (those things rule!). What limited your ability to perform faster: Swimming like a granny and not hydrating enough. Though I felt good during the swim, I need to improve it a lot. Event comments: It was an alright race, though it started kind of late and the ceremonies were late and dragged out, it was a nice race though with a beautiful course.
