swim was good relative to my lack of preparation for it.
What would you do differently?:

prepare more? more specifically, swim more than 1x per week.

Comments:

took my time. transition was fine.
Bike
  • 1h 08m 41s

Comments:

bike did not go well. too much effort for the amount of wattage i was pushing. also could not take in eload. but, this was expected. too little training in the 1.5 months leading to this race.
What would you do differently?:

consistent training- example in spring 2012 i was training well. now, not so much.

Comments:

took my time. nothing to report.

Comments:

could not take in eload or water and could not sustain 4:15 pace for >4-5km. garbage run but it was also expected.
What would you do differently?:

train!
Post race
Event comments:

$3 fee for 'spectators' is strange. also 'no dogs' is strange. the rationale for both of these things just was not apparent.
