Kinetic Half - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

I swam pretty relaxed - I felt like I sighted pretty well, but I did not swim with the pack. The site buoys were too far apart for me to see at some points.

Swim with the pack, and try and draft more.

I went pretty slow in T1 - I haven't raced in 2 years for my transition was a bit rough.

work on moving faster, and trying to run more - wasted too much time being lazy.

I think the bike went well - I stayed in control the whole time, and didn't make any large moves when people passed me early.

I counted 20 people passing me early, and I passed 18 of them back by the end.

Probably take less of the sodium tabs, and maybe drink more water and less gatorade.

I didn't really rush out of transition and took my time. I am definitely rusty on transition.

work on dismounting better, and running quicker into transition. Organize myself better and go faster from bare feet to shoes.

I threw up on mile 2 for awhile - too much sodium tabs is what i suspect.
I was able to regroup for the most part, but i think i should have ran harder. i never pushed myself to an uncomfortable level

try and push harder, and make the run hurt - i should have been easily able to run sub 1:30

I got a massage after the race and tried to stretch a bit.

then did 130 push ups as required by my challenge


rusty - i think i should have focused a bit more on saving time in places better.

the run should have been harder- i took it way too easy , and didn't push when i felt mild discomfort.


It's a great venue, and race.
