 Swim
Comments: New goggles leaked a little after first bouy turn so I had to flip on my back and adjust. This kind of threw off my rhythm but I think I recovered pretty good. What would you do differently?: Since I had to put my goggles on first then swim cap I waited until I was in the chute and must not have adjusted my goggles correctly. Should have done that sooner.  Transition 1
Comments: Cut my T1 time in half from last year. Went pretty smoothly with no major hitches. What would you do differently?: Didn't like how my bike was mounted on the seat. Took a few seconds to get under the bar.  Bike
Comments: Felt great and only got passed by about 15-20 people. Other than that I was passing people the whole course. Felt comfortable on all the climbs even the mile long hill. What would you do differently?: Make sure I install my aero bottle the right direction (haha). I was tempted to stop and fix it but figured the amount of time I would lose would not even be close to the amount I was losing with it the wrong way. Transition 2
Comments: Overall good transition. Made a game time decision to grab my Nathan Quickdraw and fill with water at aid staion which I am very gald I did since i used it to keep me cool on the run. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: There is an extremely large down hill and up hill right out of transition that I dread and I just could not keep my HR down. I wasn't wearing a HR monitor but I could just tell that I was in upper Z5 and just couldn't get it back down. Did some a few short up hill walks in miles 1-3 but had to walk a few times during mile 4 which I was not happy about. What would you do differently?: Maybe not push as hard on the bike. Last year I averaged 8:18/mile so I should have had a better run. Post race
Warm down: Drank some Gatorade and water and did some light stretching What limited your ability to perform faster: It was hot but I think I could have backed off the bike a little bit. Event comments: 2010 time - 2:00:12 Place 416/836 2011 time - 1:54:45 Place 335/714 2012 time - 1:51:34 Place 254/674 I use this race as a gauge for my racing season and I have seen steady improvement so that is good.

With a later 9:00am start I was able to sleep in until 5:30am. Got up and ate some fruit and bagle and sipped on some Lemon-Lime Perform. Tried not to overdue the fluids so that I wouldn't be going to the bathroom every 10 minutes and it seemed to work.
Did light swim in lake with some breast stroke and backstroke.
