Swim
Comments: very rocky and shallow swim course. our wave felt very large and therefore the swim was pretty rough - lots of scrumming, kicking and hitting. most physical swim i've experienced in a race. i had a few racers grab onto my ankles and pull me back from time to time. pretty chaotic. i would expect that more at the start of the swim but it lasted for most of it! What would you do differently?: not sure. Transition 1
Comments: my T1 time always disappoints me! i take a little more time now that i'm connecting my insulin pump during T1. (have to unzip trisuit and clip into infusion set, kind of fumble around a bit). but small price to pay to keep my blood sugars in normal range! What would you do differently?: not much Bike
Transition 2
Run
Comments: had to run up the same hill out of transition as at beginning of bike leg. that sucked! i actually allowed myself to walk up the hill so i wasn't starting the run with a super high HR. i'm surprised with my pace since i did walk that hill and walked through the water station. thought it would have been slower, so i'm happy with that, especially since my run training has been non-existent this year with my shin injury. :) Post race
Warm down: drank some water, hung out with friends What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of run training, need to push more - i tend to keep things comfortable Event comments: really well run race. it helped that the weather was perfect! beautiful location. max performance always does a great job! would definitely do this race again.
