Comments:

Wasn't going to use the "wetsuit strippers" But if Maxim girls want to take clothing off of me who am I to argue.
What would you do differently?:

nothing pretty good transition

Comments:

Pushed a little too hard and let others dictate my effort level(I hate being passed) should have backed off a little more so I had more left for the run
What would you do differently?:

save some more for the run and not lose time with dropped chains
Transition 2
  • 04m 11s
Comments:

Desided to stop and use the porta john. should have just done my thing on the bike... oh well
What would you do differently?:

go on the bike so I didn't have a 4 minute T2

Comments:

Had to walk 3/4 of "The Toughman" walked a few other times but I just couldn't push through the pain.
What would you do differently?:

Not twist my ankle grabbing a gel I didn't need. Run more consistently going into races. Duh I know that
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around got my 110% Knickers on and the Ice Packs in. They are the greatest thing ever.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Inconsistent training and a few poor decisions.

Event comments:

Great race very well supported. I will definitely be doing this one again someday.
