Swim
Comments: Best feeling on the swim yet. I liked the Time trial start and the running start into the water except by the time I got to go (#487) I had to pee again. What would you do differently?: One more stop at the port-a-john before the start Transition 1
Comments: This was the biggest transition area I've been in so that added some time but I really didn't transition well. I need to cut 30 seconds out of this but as long as I'm wearing sock, I'm not sure how I would. What would you do differently?: Prepare to get my feet clean better and in less time. Bike
Comments: This was my fastest ride yet and I really pushed until the end. I coasted in thinking we were in a no pass zone earlier than it started but I would not have taken much time off. What would you do differently?: Pass those two coasters at the end. Transition 2
Comments: Sunglasses got stuck on my helmet so I didn't run with them. By this point I really had to pee again but didn't take the time to run over to the port-a- johns What would you do differently?: Not much. Long run to exit transistion added some time. Run
Comments: Felt better than ever starting the run because I avoided taking any type of gel on the bike. Unfortunately by the time we hit the water station on the other side of the lake my bladder was about to burst. There was a Port-a-john there so I stopped, took a 25-30 second break, hopped out and finished the course faster than I have done a run section yet. SPrinted up the hill to the finish and caught about 10 other racers that had either just passed me or didn't know I was coming. What would you do differently?: Should have started the last push sooner. I still had a little in the tank after the race was done. Post race
Warm down: Found my wife and kids and refilled with water and fruit. What limited your ability to perform faster: Having to pee. Event comments: This was an exceelent race and really well put on. There were more volunteers than at any other race I have been to so far. They had a bunch of them everywhere and all had t-shirts on so your would recognize them. Race swag was good, including a pair of socks to go with the race shirt. I highly recommend this race to anyone doing sprints. Last updated: 2012-07-28 12:00 AM
