Swim
Comments: Focused on staying long and reducing resistance. Stayed out of the pack, but still mananged to draft fairly well. Not a fantastic time, but for the effort put out it was very good. Transition 1
Comments: One of my better T1's. Fairly quick getting the shoes on and tied. Couple guys on my rack came out of the water with me so i tried to keep up with them. Bike
Comments: My best bike on this course so far. Better on the hills, both up and down. Good job getting up to speed on the down hills and maintaining speed/cadence on the uphills. Got into the smaller chain ring earlier than usual, with a smaller cog in back. This let me down shift on the uphills while maintaining cadence. Standing up toward the top of the hills was pretty good too. Transition 2
Comments: Coupe of guys blocked me out going into the transition turn. They were unbuckling their shoes. Not really necessary on the road, they could have done this on the 1/4 mile approach to T2. Kind of pissed me off because they passed me right before they slowed down to unbuckle their shoes. Run
Comments: Not such a bad time. Felt very good. Felt good on both the uphills and downhills. Started off nice and easy to get my breathing under control. About a minute after getting over the first short hill i was able to start picking it up. Beautiful weather definitely helped. Post race
Warm down: jumped in the lake, PBR. What limited your ability to perform faster: Just have to keep working on my run. It's getting there very slowly. Have to start carving out some time to work on my swim as well, but right now it's not too horrible. Run is really where i need the most work. Event comments: So bummed that this was the last race of the season. I have to drive over an hour each way to the race, but it's worth it. It's run so well and the course is very challenging. Love it! Can't wait 'til next year. Last updated: 2011-08-12 12:00 AM
