Swim
  • 42m 20s
  • 1500 meters
  • 02m 49s / 100 meters
Comments:

took the first bit slow, since i tend to go out too fast. my typical nemesis point, the across, went well. got into a nice groove on way back. got swam over too much during that groove, though.
What would you do differently?:

figure out how i can get faster/into a groove earlier. not hack up res water.
Transition 1

Comments:

trislide worked pretty well. some stuff out of position due to hoodles in my rack.
What would you do differently?:

be the first person into trans in the am to get the best spot.

Comments:

broke my damn saddle on stage; bike should have gone tons better, time-wise, at least. took the first part of the ride relatively easy because i knew the nasty climb ahead.
What would you do differently?:

moar hill training. LOTS MORE.
Transition 2
  • 02m 49s
Comments:

stuff was scattered EVERYWHERE AND i didn't have my bike spot thanks to the hookers on my rack. seriously, have these girls ever raced before? should not come back into trans and NOT have a spot
What would you do differently?:

claim my territory. somehow ...
Run

  • 6.21 miles
  • 10m 47s  min/mile
Comments:

first half, averaging about a 10:30/mi pace. second half slightly slower, but knew that a pr was still within reach. last mile and a half went a lot rougher than i would have liked, though.
What would you do differently?:

brick it up, yo.
Post race
Warm down:

walk back to trans, grab camera, walk to finish line to watch pros and mrrmrr finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training, breaking my bike mid-race, asshole doodles in trans.

Event comments:

shittier than last year, but still not bad. BRING BACK MY ORANGE DRINK TO POST-RACE!
