 Swim
Comments: The swim started about 15mins late because the buoys shifted overnight due to the rain/storm. It wasn't totally clear if we were supposed to keep all buoys on our right or just the corner buoys. After we passed the first sighting buoy and seeing people right of the buoy without being redirected, I just followed suit to keep a straighter line. What would you do differently?: For me, this was right around what I expected. maybe two mins slower, but overall pretty good for me.  Transition 1
Comments: This was a bit slower for me. My suit got stuck on the timing chip, which caused the delay.  Bike
Comments: Hill training and more strength training. Considering the conditions, I was pretty happy with my effort. I made a tone of time and regained a decent position after a BOP swim finish. Transition 2
Comments: 30 seconds slower than normal. I think I just took my time and didn't get to crazy with a fast T2.  Run
Comments: By mile 4.5, my stomach was rebelling against me. I was hurting badly and had to pull over for a few mins. After regaining my bodily issues, I trotted the final mile, which slowed my run time a few mins. By this point, I was just thinking of finishing rather than finishing with a good time. That's how it goes sometimes! What would you do differently?: Try to get my fluid and nutrition management in sync next time, especially with a 4am wake up time. Post race
Warm down: Rev3 does a fantastic job in organizing the race and truly makes you feel like a pro. Found the NormaTec tent and got some good recovery time. Chatted with other GSR races and reminisced about the rain the entire race and challenging, but honest course. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nutrition management Event comments: Looking forward to next year. Rev3 knows how to organize a great race. even though it rained, they found a way to keep the race running smoothly. Great work Rev3! Last updated: 2012-03-19 12:00 AM

Got up at 4am to start the pre-race routine early and get to T1 early to guarantee a parking spot at the race site. I checked out of the hotel, stepped outside and it was pouring. I thought for sure they would cancel the swim considering the down pour all night and well into the morning. I tried to block the rain and went on with my normal race day routine. I got to the race site just as they opened transition. Since I was plenty early, I turned off the car, cranked some tunes, and listened to the heavy rain come down. The rain let up a bit and I headed to transition to set up.
No warm up per se, more like trying to stay warm because I was freezing from the cold rain.
