Swim
Comments: Went out hard the first 200 yards then settled in. I usually sight very poorly in this lake. It always seems muddy. However, I felt like I sighted well this time. Did not get off course. I was more aggressive in the swim for this race. Was happy with my performance. What would you do differently?: Not too much. My speed continues to improve with each race. Keep up the workouts. Transition 1
Comments: Happy with T1. I ran from swim exit to bike, then ran with bike to bike exit. I think this is the first time I was able to run thru T1. Felt good. Bike
Comments: This was the best bike leg of a race I've ever had. My legs felt heavy during the first 2 miles, then loosened up. I started working with a coach in June and the results on the bike leg finally showed up at this race. A ton of people usually pass me during the bike leg. I was passed by only four people yesterday. I usually finish near the bottom of my AG on the bike. This race I finished in the top 1/3 of my AG. I know I can still improve a lot on the bike, however, I was very happy with my time yesterday. What would you do differently?: Keep hammering the bike workouts to get faster. Transition 2
Comments: Was able to run all the way to rack with the bike. Again, don't think I've ever done this before. Happy with T2. What would you do differently?: Not much. Run
Comments: I felt great on the run yesterday. Found my legs right away. There is a downhill near the end of the race. I love this downhill as I usually pick up a lot of speed for the remainder of the race. What would you do differently?: Keep up with the brick workouts. Post race
Warm down: Walked, drank water, ate some pizza, etc What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing. The weather was great, I did not feel overheated at all during the race. Very happy with this race. Event comments: I've done this race three times and the Oly race they have in May one time. They always do a good job. Lot's of post race drinks and food. Lot's of volunteers too. Last updated: 2011-07-22 12:00 AM
