Comments: Hung with the pack for most of the race. Crowded around buoys and along last length of rectangularly shaped course. i was surprised to hang with everyone, expected to be more off the back of the pack. What would you do differently?: Sight better. Look more often and keep fighting through around the buoys as opposed to stopping and trying to get out of the way of the masses. Transition 1
Comments: A little slow, wet suit was a bit of a struggle. Bike had been knocked over and I did not see it and ran by. Did not do flying mount, lacked confidence (will practice more). What would you do differently?: If I was not wearing shoes, I could have run w/bike and gotten out quicker. Bike
Comments: I was too concerned with going to hard early and potentially blowing up the run. What would you do differently?: Go harder, I left something here. Transition 2
Comments: Almost crashed at dismount line. Lots of brake fade. Need to get pads checked/replaced. What would you do differently?: Left shoes on bike, and dismount barefoot. Run
Comments: OK run. First run off the bike this year. Watched pace carefully for first mile or so, then just went by feel. Had duct tape on existing blister on left heel, should have done the same for right foot. What would you do differently?: Duct tape both heels and try for a last mile push. Post race
Warm down: Sit down. What limited your ability to perform faster: Inexperience at this distance and not enough bike training coming into the race. Event comments: Good event and definitely one I will look to do next year and perform to a higher potential Last updated: 2012-01-01 12:00 AM
