![]() Swim
Comments: I cut the bottom of my left foot as soon as I got in the water. I didnt' realize how bad it was until T1. I went out way too fast and the last third. I still need to work on pacing myself in the swim. What would you do differently?: Start slower, get into a comfortable routine and finish strong. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: This took me much longer than usual. Mostly because I was trying to figure out how to stop the bleeding. I didn't plan to wear socks, but had them with me. So I put two socks on the bloody foot and none on the other. Worked OK - until the run. ![]() Bike
Comments: Nice course, nice pace. What would you do differently?: Not much. I was happy with my time. ![]() Transition 2
What would you do differently?: I would have gotten the Gu out of my bike pouch before dismounting. ![]() Run

Nothing special. Early morning breakfast. One hour car ride to the location.
Stretching and a light jog. The Olympic distance went off before the sprint, so a swim wasn't very feasible.
