Comments:

This waster was so cold. I didn't have a wet suit and when you hit the water it was like jumping into a pile of needles. Got into a good rythm and was able to ignore the cold enough to pass a bunch of people that you could tell were suffering.
What would you do differently?:

Not much this was my best swim splits to date. Maybe ask them to turn up the heater in the lake
Transition 1
  • 10m 16s
Comments:

This is where the race went bad. I sat down to put on my socks and my left leg cramped up to the point I could not put on my sock or stand up. I debated quitting but decided if the cramps went away I would finish and at least have a good training day.

Comments:

Great challenging course with a decent amount of rollers. This was my best bike splits to date. I think I could have gone harder but the twinge in my left leg every time I really wanted to push kept me back.
What would you do differently?:

Not cramp in T1 and push harder I think I can pull at least a 16mph avg on this course
Transition 2
  • 03m 58s
Comments:

Once again the clyde 1/2 mile in transition really kills T times.
Run
  • 47m 22s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 15m 17s  min/mile
Comments:

I still suck at running but it was my best run splits. I even passed 3 people. This is the first tri where I passed someone on the run.
What would you do differently?:

Train harder on my running
Post race
Warm down:

Pancakes and chocolate milk and some stretching.

Event comments:

My best race splits and I PR'd last years time by 3 minutes even with cramps. Its going to be a good year.
