 Swim
Comments: First - jumping off the boat was the coolest swim start ever! I did not get enough swim practice before this event so my breathing was difficult and I hurt my shoulders with a bad stroke again. I decided to take it easy because I had a difficult time sighting the buouys with the wave chop. What would you do differently?: I needed to quit worrying about sighting and just put my head down and swim. I got much faster during the second half of the swim and found myself passing a lot of swimmers that had passed me before  Transition 1
Comments: There was a lot of congestion getting out of T1, so my time was a little slower, but still not bad.  Bike
Comments: I felt like I was hammering it but my legs were still sore from the MS 150 the week before. My speed was good but I used up too much before the run. What would you do differently?: I would have backed off a little if I knew how difficult the run was going to be for me. Transition 2
Comments: Good transition  Run
Comments: My legs cramped up immediately and I had to walk a good bit. My legs were fatigued. What would you do differently?: I did a 117 mile bike and then a 150 mile bike the two weekends prior to this event. I need to avoid putting my legs under that much stress with no chance for recovery. Post race
Warm down: Ice bath! That was great! What limited your ability to perform faster: I tried to do too much too soon... but it was still a fun race and I'm glad I did it. My 2012 season has been kicked off! Event comments: Excellent production! Last updated: 2012-05-03 12:00 AM

3:00 AM comes awfully early and it is a long drive to Kemah. I got there in plenty of time to set up but I was tired before the race ever started.
I jogged the path to the swim entrance to make sure i coudl find my bike in transition and reviewed all of the entrances and exits. It was then time to head over to the boat.
