Swim
Comments: Couldn't get comfortable and in the first couple hundred yards considered actually just giving up the ghost. The water smelled funky and was thick and green and NASTY! Eventually I calmed down and swam but then my left gogg started filling up and I had to shut my Left Eye Lopez. Navigation was horrible from there on out. Oh well ... What would you do differently?: Swim better in cleaner water without water in the gogg? Transition 1
Comments: It wasn't a 5 minute transition because I'm slow. It's about a mile to get there then another mile out. Most T1s were in the 5s so I did pretty good! What would you do differently?: Nothing Bike
Comments: Not a bad ride. I'd not done a lot of cycling up to that point so I was slower than I would've liked but oh well, it was fun. What would you do differently?: Ride lots. Transition 2
Comments: Same thing -- long way in, long way out. Run
Comments: Tried to push it a little on the run but there was one really long but not steep hill that goes along the south side of the park that seemed to just drag on and on and on. Four laps of that. Good times. What would you do differently?: Nothing. Fun run. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, found some peeps I knew including Monica and Annie Stacy and then went to eat food and such. Event comments: Great race and fun watching the pros the day before. The Brownlee brothers are frickin fast!!! Last updated: 2011-09-19 12:00 AM
