Swim
Comments: Very good swim for me. I started closer to the front of the wave, about second or third row. This helped the traffic and I was able to get into a good cadence earlier than I normally do. Overall very happy with the swim, sighted well and maintained an easy / relaxed tempo What would you do differently?: Not much, maybe pushed a little harder Transition 1
Comments: Used the wet suite strippers coming out of the swim which was great. I was a little dizzy coming out of the water. I think this is just due to the colder water temp, had the same feeling in Tremont last year. What would you do differently?: Not much here for me, eventually I may try to keep the shoes clipped into the bike Bike
Comments: Pretty good bike overall. I was having some gear issues in my previous rides but did not experience these issues during the race. There was ~10-15mph winds out of the west during the race. I was shooting for a slightly faster bike time but I feel like I pushed pretty good so I can't complain. Because I started in the last wave I passed a ton of people on the bike which was pretty fun What would you do differently?: Just the usual, train harder on the bike Transition 2
Comments: Pretty good here, the speed laces are nice and make things a little quicker. I have a little more trouble getting my foot in the shoe though but once its in, the laces are definitely quicker My bike rack was about as far from the bike in as it possibly could be so much of this time was me running the bike to the rack What would you do differently?: pretty good for me, not much Run
Comments: This was slower than I wanted but looking at the heart rate monitor I was pushing pretty good. Post race
Event comments: This is the second time I have done this race. It is one of the most orgainzed events with tons of volunteers. Will be doing this race every year if I can. Last updated: 2012-04-15 12:00 AM
