Swim
Comments: It was an ok swim; from what I've heard people saying, it was longer than posted. I'll wait and see what others say. I definitely like I went faster than 2:20/100m, but I'm not terribly disappointed. What would you do differently?: I clearly just need to work on technique and strength, but I'm pretty happy overall. Transition 1
Comments: I lost my goggles running into the transition area, and just left then. I could've stopped and gone back, but I'd rather just buy new goggles. It was a little hectic packing all my things up and getting them into the T1 bag, but not terrible. What would you do differently?: not drop my goggles Bike
Comments: Man, those hills were tough. They never really let up; you never had a chance to rest. Every time you got up a hill and your legs recovered, you'd be going down another and then back up. A good bike, and definitely indicative of what I can do, I'll just like to get faster. What would you do differently?: Train more, train harder Transition 2
Comments: I could've gone faster, I think my legs were just a little fried. Overall, pretty average. What would you do differently?: Just do everything faster. Run
Comments: Man, my legs were pretty fried after the bike. For the first mile, my quads were just blocks of wood. After a couple miles, they came back to life, and then after 4 I felt mostly normal, just tired. What would you do differently?: Not much Post race
Warm down: I went straight from the finish line to the bbq sandwich line; I was craving something not sugary. That sandwich was good! What limited your ability to perform faster: My bike speed Event comments: This was a good race; the course isn't easy, but that's not really why people do this. I definitely had a good time!

I got up at 4:40, left the house by 5:15, or so. I got to T2 and set it up, met Nate and his girlfriend, and we headed over to T1 and the swim start. I got T1 set up, then had a Stinger Waffle. Nate and I ran for about 10 minutes or so, then we had a practice swim a little while before the start. I took a Gu just before the practice swim.
10 minute jog and short swim
