  • 1760 yards
  • 02m 11s / 100 yards
Comments:

Felt tired and had trouble sighting.
What would you do differently?:

Pick a line and swim it. Rest more pre-race: more taper.
Transition 1
  • 03m 35s
Comments:

What was I thinking? Spoke to Father-in-law, Ronnie, and I guess took a nap. Hips felt tight, so I took my time, but 3 minutes!
What would you do differently?:

Faster!
Bike
  • 1h 20m 38s
  • 25 miles
  • 18.60 mile/hr
Comments:

Couldn't get in aero, so need to make a major adjustment there: too far forward and a little low. Need to go back in to get refitted.
What would you do differently?:

Came out of the water crampy, so taper and nutrition were already an issue, but worked through it on the bike to be ready to run. I was 19.3 mph last time I rode this course on the old bike.
Transition 2
  • 01m 35s
Comments:

Camping again.
What would you do differently?:

Figure between the 2 transitions I can knock of a least 3 minutes.

Comments:

Was fast, but really could have done better. Stopped for a 2 minute pee break!
Post race
Warm down:

Strech and iced towels on the legs. Think I managed the pacing fairly well.

Event comments:

Would of/could of/should have done better on the bike. Happy with the race. Tried to encourage everyone I went by and thank the voluteers. If I raced more, especially shorter races, I would race better, so expectations were not in-line with experience. Christy did well, but her hip bothered her. Saw Wayne and Cody which was great.
