Swim
Comments: This swim was definitely a short course. No way it was 600yds. I started off hard and fast to get ahead of the group and then settled in for a comfortable swim. Not a bad result considering that I've only been int he pool twice in the previous 2 months... What would you do differently?: Need new swim goggles. Transition 1
Comments: A little slow because I decided to wear a wetsuit and didn't have my shoes clipped in. Stil a pretty smooth transition What would you do differently?: Nothing Bike
Comments: This was an okay ride. It was crowded on the way out, which helped with some drafting, but the way back had a headwind and was much more open due to the thinned out crowd. I averaged 255W (95% of FTP), which is probably about right. I still feel like I should have pushed harder What would you do differently?: Pushed harder and stayed focused in the middle of the ride. Transition 2
Comments: Good transition. Run
Comments: This was a pretty poor run, but not surprising considering that I had to take 5 months off from running. It'll come back. The course was crowded and it was very difficult to know how far I'd run. Post race
Warm down: I ran right through the finish line and straight to transition to grab my bike and head home. Wasn't able to stick around for awards or food. What limited your ability to perform faster: Fitness. Event comments: Run course is pretty poorly set up. The same out and back twice and it was easy for people to cut the course. Also, the timing company RunWild, did a poor job as usual. Last updated: 2012-04-10 12:00 AM

Slept about 3 hours, drove to Baytown and got set up in transition. I got there about 5:15, so I had my choice of transition spots. I ate a banana about 4 am, drank some gatorade and had some shot blocks while driving.
About a 2 mile jog with some pickups. I meant to swim, but got distracted.
