Swim
Comments: Pretty good swim for me. What would you do differently?: Definitely could take a couple minutes off this pace. Maybe a better effort to draft off the speedsters coming by. Transition 1
Comments: Not good transition but wetsuits had to go in bag etc. Long run on bad surface so i had shoes on. Missed one pedal clip and whacked my shin, ouch What would you do differently?: shoes on bike, put socks on for long asphalt run Bike
Comments: Ok ride, had to fix seat position early What would you do differently?: Maybe harder early, and spin easier on some hills at end. Transition 2
Comments: Kept shoes on-big mistake. Dismount had way too far to run. What would you do differently?: Socks at T1, Shoes off at t2 and run with socks on asphalt Run
Comments: I felt really good at start. Tried to go out climbing and stay near 8:30/40 pace with thoughts of 7:45 coming back. Didnt work as my legs turned to logs at mile 8/9 and i just couldnt get going. Hung in there to keep the 8:40 pace and 8:55 last 2 miles. It was a struggle but i never walked! What would you do differently?: Easier at end of bike, harder at beginning of run. Post race
Warm down: Nothing-try to gather all the gear What limited your ability to perform faster: Just a lack of training for this run. Strategy and pace could have gained me some time but i dont thing too much.... Event comments: I'll really have to think about it again. Great race, once you're racing. Way too much shuttling around and disorganization between transition areas for me. Family and spectators seeing the swim is almost impossible unless they go at 5am too. Very bad with lack of signs and we felt like we were searching for places all the time. Last updated: 2012-06-01 12:00 AM

Get up extremely early to get shuttled all over in a bus!
Nothing much, trying to wake up and jogged a little.
